Consider a $$HVDC$$ link which uses thyristor based line commutated converters as shown in the figure. For a power flow of $$750$$ $$MW$$ from System $$1$$ to System $$2,$$ the voltages at the two ends, and the current, are given by: $${V_1} = 500\,kV,\,\,{V_2} = 485\,kV\,\,$$ and $$\,{\rm I} = 1.5\,kA.\,\,$$ If the direction of power flow is to be reversed (that is, from System $$2$$ to System $$1$$) without changing the electrical connections, then which one of the following combinations is feasible?

Out of the considerations (i) to (iv) listed below,
(i) No distance limitation related to steady state stability
(ii) No reactive power requirement from the system at the two terminals
(iii) No substantial effect on fault level of the two systems at the terminals inspite of the inter connection
(iv) no corona problems
