Explore the power of HVDC light/spl reg/ - a web based system interaction tutorial

The benefits of a voltage source converter system as HVDC light stretches beyond the conventional HVDC characteristics. This is particularly visible studying the interaction with the AC system. The differences and benefits are not widely known within the power industry and effort is made spread this knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to describe how ABB has utilized the Internet to describe the power system benefits of HVDC light in a slightly new approach. A web-based system interaction tutorial is now being developed and has been publicly launched. The structure and layout differs from traditional 'paper based' material. Web animations has also been developed illustrating certain aspects.
