Ac- vs. DC Collector Grid DC collector grid

DC System:
DC system is free from reactive power management issues.
Reactive power management is moved to the connection point with the
ac system.
Cable capacitance charging current:
AC cable reduces the active power rating, thus, longer distances cannot
be covered by AC cables.
DC transmission is not affected by cable charging current, so that VAR
compensators are not required.
Fewer Cables
Fewer cable are required for DC system
DC resistance is lower than ac resistance
Medium frequency transformer SABhaspoortransformerutilization!
Heavy line frequency transformer is replaced with medium-voltage high-
frequency DC/DC converters DCDCCollectorgridwithsingleactivebridge(SAB)DCDCconverter
