HVDC system based on VSC technology built with IGBTs.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the flow of reactive and real power in an HVDC system utilizing VSC technology with IGBTs. It clarifies that reactive power is indicated by the bidirectional arrows between AC1 and AC2, emphasizing its cyclical nature. The presence of a single bidirectional arrow at the transformer suggests that only reactive power is accounted for. A participant questions whether an additional bidirectional arrow can be added to represent real power flow, asserting that both reactive and real power should be considered. The conversation highlights the importance of accurately representing power flows in HVDC system diagrams.

In the above fig the arrow indicates that just reactive power is following in and out from the AC1 & AC2. Does it mean that there is no real power follow from AC1 & AC2.

Reactive power always flows out and back; they are just making it clear that it has to be accounted for.

The bidirectional arrow labeled real power indicates that real power may be drawn from AC 1 or 2.

Hello! thanks for your response. Could you please answer to my following question?

There is only one bidirectional arrow at the transformer near AC1 & AC2 which indicates reactive power can follow in and out the transformer. Can I add one more bidirectional arrow at the transformer to represent real power follow? Because I think, not only reactive power but also real power is following in and out the transformer.

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
