(a) Two three-phase, 400kV (rms), 50Hz, AC networks are connected together via a current-source HVDC link made up of a three-phase, 12-pulse full-wave thyristor rectifier and a three-phase, 12-pulse full-wave thyristor inverter.

(i) Draw the circuit diagram for this system and explain, for the rectifier stage, how the firing delay angle may be used to control the average DC voltage.

(ii) Explain the main advantages of HVDC transmission compared to AC transmission.

(b) An H-Bridge converter is to be used to connect a 500V DC supply to the 50Hz, 230Vrms AC grid. The converter operates with a switching frequency of 2kHz and is connected to the grid through a 2mH inductor.

(i) Draw the circuit diagram for the H-Bridge circuit and explain how the switches are controlled to regulate the output voltage generated by the converter.

(ii) Given that the H-Bridge inverter is modulated using sinusoidal PWM, calculate the modulation index and phase (with reference to the grid voltage) of the inverter modulation signal required to deliver 10kW / 0VAr average power to the AC grid
