Abstract: India is going through a phase of modernization that has given way to growing demand for electrical energy. The wave of modernization has ushered in a emerging industrial sector that has heightened the demand for electricity. In addition, 99.7% of household in India has been electrified which is a remarkable feat considering India has a population of 1.3 billion but it has further elevated the demand. Usually the generation plant is located at a remote area far from the centers of urbanization where the demand as it happens is highest. So a lot depends on transmission which plays a key role in the electrical sector. An expansion in size of the transmission arrange prompts a mind-boggling arrangement of transmission that endures significant obstacles identified with burden stream, control wavering and voltage quality. Conventional AC transmission line had proved inefficient in long distance high voltage transmission. A possible solution to this situation is the use HVDC transmission system. In fact a number of HVDC transmission projects had been planned and constructed throughout India.
