VSC HVDC Lower power capability - PE device current capability Weak overload capability Operates into weaker AC systems Black start capability aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Insignificant level of harmonic generation, hence no filters required Finer reactive power control Compact site area, 50 60% of LCC site area
VSC HVDC Use of conventional transformers Symmetrical monopole Higher station losses Higher cost by 10 15% Lower reliability, due to high component count Less mature technology Power is reversed by changing direction of current flow Ideal for use with XLPE cables Lower voltage capability
