Abstract
Nowadays, High voltage direct current (HVDC) is used to transmit large amounts of power
over long distances or for interconnections between asynchronous grids and underwater or
submarine transmission. It has become an integral part of the delivery of electricity in many
countries throughout the world. This is because there are a number of advantages over AC
transmission system in certain cases. The objectives of this literature survey are to study the
application of HVDC and the reasons of using HVDC in transmission system. Some basic
theories related to HVDC are also examined and analyzed in this survey. A case study on the
Sabah/Sarawak-Peninsular Malaysia interconnection HVDC transmission system is
discussed. This case study on the project is chosen because this transmission system will
be the longest transmission system on the world and will benefit to Malaysia. This
transmission system will launch in Malaysia soon. The analysis and discussion on the case
study are done based on the theories studied.
