One third ( 33% of totalinvestment ) 50 billion € (56 billion $) are submarine HVDC interconnections
Also Europe strong increasinginvestments on HVDC Systems
ATLAS OF HVDC SYSTEM
HVDC is integral part of «smart grid solutions»Power flow & frequency control
WHY HVDC?
HVDC used in the connection of offshore Wind Farms
HVDC used in the integration of Networks ( mainly with long sea link )
HVDC used as BtB Systems for interconnection of asynchronous Networks
HVDC used for Very Long Distance Huge Power Transfer
HVDC become more acceptable ( both with OHLs and cables ) in Authorization/Environment Assessment vs. AC OHL technology

Obsolescence Risks
Fast development of new power electronics devices while beneficial in terms of technology improvement may be an issue for recently proposed projects, in terms of technology obsolescence.Obsolescent topologies:• 2 and 3 level large HVDC VSC links started
commercial operation in the 2000s (Cross Sound,Murraylink ). Nowadays this topology is alreadyobsolete.
• DC neutral is ungrounded in most recent modularmultilevel converter up to 320 kV. DC groundingwill most probably be adopted in the future forhigher voltage level.
Obsolescent power electronics:• IGCT ( Integrated-Gate Commutated Thyristor )
IGBT ( Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor)• Press Pack (direct / indirect pressure)• Silicon Carbide ( SiC ) power device in the future.
Obsolescence Risks

Technological Risks :operating experience important factor
In order to verify the quality of the operatingdata, TERNA has adopted the requirements ofthe protocol established by the B4 Committee ofC.I.G.R.E.
In the follwing slides are summarized the resultsof operation of SACOI2 link from 1993 to 2013
SA.CO.I.2 Report of performances 1993-2013 (1/3)
The figure 3 shows that the availability ofthe Link is almost a constant value from 1993to 2013 (above 90% ).
The utilization of the link has been growingfrom 2002 (average 58.44%) compared to arather low average (33.72%) in previousyears.

SA.CO.I Report of performances 1993-2013 (2/3)
Failures on cable have a big impact on the total forcedoutage period (91%), but slightly affect the values ofreliability because the presence of the second cableallows to operate the link even if with reducedperformance 50%

CAUSE OF FAILURE OF CABLES FROM 1967 TO 2013
SA.CO.I Report of performances 1993-2013 (3/3)
Fig.6 Main substation forced outageFigures 7 and 8 show in terms of equivalent hours and percentage,forced outages attributable to the main converter stations.
• The control and protection system and the AC yardequipments (especially the filters) are the two leading causes.
• No problem with thyristors;the total number of failures is not increasing

Technological Risks: Fire
GRITA DESIGN Improve requirements vs Fire Events
Fire Risk in these years become very important because of several disastrous fire incidents in HVDC Plants ,the last occurred in autumn 1993 in Sylmar East Station full destroying one quadruple valve.
35
Model scenario of fire in valve hall was used for computer simulation.Oil spill fire was based on insulation oil spread out on the floor while the fire in the thyristor module was upper 4 meters below ceiling ( impact on average T gas layer).Smoke ventilation in operation.
36
-Mimize amount of combustible material – Material selection and mechanical features-Sectionize equipment and segregation barriers to prevent spread of fire or leak water-valves designed exclude corona in operation voltage to avoid degradation of plastic materials( checked type and routine test)-Detect a fire in incipient stage using Fast Acting ( <10’) Fire Detection devices ( like VESDA or IFD )-Exstinguish a possible fire-Minimize secondary damages caused by increased T and combustion product
VALVE HALL CRITERIA adopted vs. RISK of FIRE
37
Technological Risks: Fire
To keep oil filled equipment out of valve hallwas decided to avoid oil smoothing reactorand using air cooled type smoothing reactor
38
Technological Risks: Earthquake
GRITA DESIGN Improve requirements bothConverter Station vs Earthquake , do to Arachtossite
Suspended Valves
The seismic design of the CS equiment was based onTwo level severity:OBE and MDE ( Maximum Design Eartquake).Qualification methods followsTest procedure and seismicverification was developed with a linear elastic modal analysisprocedure.
Technological Risks:Transport
Technological Risks: Permitting Phase Risks
SAPEI Architecture Design To Improve public acceptance and speedup Permitting phase
SAPEI Marine Impact Assessment on mammals life ( dolphins, whales etc)
Technological Risks: Converter Transformer failure risk
SAPEI PROJECT : After design review was performed a special test : short circuit on unit of Converter Transformer at KEMA Platform test.
Technological Risks: Pollution and Insulation
GRITA design taking in to consideration 500 kV wall bushingsflash over( mainly in rainy weather )
in Ghenzuoba -ShangaiHVDC System experience .Was installed a silicone bushing rather thanporcelain
SAPEI adopted indoor type Solution for all equipment in Sardinia side for salt and coal pollution
Technological Risks: Pollution and Insulation
Technological Risks: Organization Task
