Abstract

An attempt is undertaken to estimate technical and economical features of UHVDC transmission line with energy transport capacity equal or exceeding that for modern long distance gas pipelines. Estrapolation of existing experimental data for electrical strength of long air gaps, some theoretical assessments together with new experimental results for durable behaviour of energized UHVDC transmission line pole model allowed to find the design criteria and main features of a 3000 kV d.c. transmission line. The experience of designing and manufacturing the first prototype 1150 kV a.c. metal-clad substation ~rRYided an assessment for a 3000 kV d.c. metalclad substation which shows attractive features of multigigawatt HVDC transQi~sion lines for bulk energy transport.
