The aim of this study was to assess the electrical performance of the Cahora
Bassa HVDC scheme. For practical reasons a database was developed to
hold and analyse the performance data. Microsoft® Access 2002 relational
database management system was chosen for this work. The principle of
simplicity and flexibility were used in the design of the database.
The Apollo year 2002 faults data was populated into the database. The
database stored the information in a format that enables the user to extract
results and the information required by Ciqre, The Ciqre Working Group 14
collects performance information from all the participating HVDC schemes
around the world annually.
The Apollo converter station's 2002 performance data was compared to other
similar HVDC schemes that submitted to Cigre in the year 2002. In addition
performance trends were drawn from similar schemes that submitted to Cigre
over the past years. The Apollo performance data is quite comparable to other
similar schemes in 2002 and over the past years. / Thesis (M.Sc.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2005.
