HVDC: Brief historical backgroundHVDC: Brief historical background
Practicability of HVDC is closely connected to the development of converters (rectifiers/inverters)
1940s: First application of HVDC using mercury arc rectifiers
1950s: proven technology in power transmission when thyristors became applicable
•1990s: push of HVDC application by the development of high‐power IGBTsand driven by the need to transmitbulk power from remote generation under environmental constraints

PlanningPlanning FACTS and HVDCFACTS and HVDC
Typical issue to be solved by transmission planners: transmission capacity increaseGeneral approach to transmission capacity increase issue:• Upgrading/uprating of existing assets• Rationalisation measures (also downstream)• Possible exploitation of other means (e.g. hydro-pumping)• Building up of new assets
Alternative approach to transmission capacity increase issue:• Use of new technologies (HTC, FACTS, HVDC, PST,
RTTR..)

Conclusions
Inserting innovative devices (like FACTS, HVDC) in the transmission planning processes is a key issue for TSOsFACTS and HVDC technologies may play a crucial role in the development of future European system towards RES integration targets (2020 and beyond): these technologies will deliver their full benefits when properly coordinated The installation of FACTS devices can bring a system efficiency increase permitting the exploitation of existing assets while overcoming some crucial issues in the short-mid term horizonIn addition to traditional HVDC applications, VSC-HVDC is expected to be further extensively used in Europe for multi-terminal offshore grids and for embedded links within the synchronous systemFor the long-term (2030-2050), the HVDC potential for a Supergrid vision at pan-European level combining offshore (HVDC/HVAC) grids, enlarged HVAC continental network, EU-MENA interconnections and MedRing is very large, upon resolving different technical, economic and regulatory issuesIn any case a sound cost-benefit analysis is required
