High-Voltage DC Transmission
Higher efficiency and easier-to-control lines used for long distance electricity transmission, usually includes more than 500 km of overhead lines and 100 km of offshore/underground lines.
LUX TAKE:
High-voltage DC (HVDC) technology is widely deployed in overhead and underground lines for large power transfer (>2,000 MW). However, the technology still needs developments to increase transmission capacities (principally cable technologies) and hardware for network protection. The deployment of large HVDC transmission lines will be driven mainly by the implementation of utility-scale renewable ...
