You are working for a small consultancy company hired to assess the feasibility of connecting 800 MW HV link. Three routes are possible:
(a) Overhead direct 220 km (overhead line)
(b) Overhead direct 350 km (overhead line)
(c) Subsea coastal 400 km (cable)
Both AC and LCC HVDC options are possible:
AC sub-station cost: $20,000/MW
DC substation cost: $240,000/MW
AC overhead line cost: $1400/MW-km
DC overhead line cost: $900/MW-km
AC cable cost: $16,000 /MW-km (cable+laying)
DC cable cost: $10,000 /MW-km (cable+laying)
i. Calculate the relative costs of each option?
ii. What is the breakeven distance in each choice?
