Abstract

Abstract An energy transmission system includes a high-voltage direct-current transmission main in the form of a ring for supplying consumers located within the ring. The high-voltage d.c. main is fed from a three-phase network through rectifiers, and power output groups located at a plurality of points within the ring are connected to the latter. Each power group consists of a plurality of partial inverters connected in series between the poles of the d.c. main and an alternating current consumer network to be supplied is connected to the output of the inverters. Each output group of inverters includes a regulating device to monitor and regulate current and voltage to pre-set values dependent upon the power requirement of the inverter group such that one inverter of a group regulates the common direct-current applied to the output group and the other inverters of the group regulate their direct voltage so that the resulting sum voltage is equal to the amplitude of the direct voltage of the common main.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 103 words
In an energy transmission system provided with a common main which conducts direct-current at high voltage and is fed from at least one three-phase network or power station through rectifiers, the improvement characterized in that connected to a plurality of points in the common main, between the poles are output groups connected in parallel, each of which consists of a plurality of partial inverters connected in series between the poles of the common main, associated with each of which partial inverters is an alternating-current network or partial network to be supplied, and that a regulating device is provided to monitor the electrical quantities.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 103 words
In an energy transmission system provided with a common main which conducts direct-current at high voltage and is fed from at least one three-phase network or power station through rectifiers, the improvement characterized in that connected to a plurality of points in the common main, between the poles are output groups connected in parallel, each of which consists of a plurality of partial inverters connected in series between the poles of the common main, associated with each of which partial inverters is an alternating-current network or partial network to be supplied, and that a regulating device is provided to monitor the electrical quantities.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 38 words
An energy transmission system as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the common main is constructed in the form of a ring and the circumference of the ring at least partially embraces the region to be supplied.
