About High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Transmission Systems
Power is mainly generated, distributed, and consumed as AC. However, in power generation techniques, such as offshore wind farms and hydroelectricity, using AC system and lines for transmission of power over long distances of more than 600 km becomes uneconomical. This is due to the high-power losses and increasing costs of overhead lines. The increasing demand for power for commercial and residential use and the need to address the problem regarding power shortage have resulted in the supply of high voltage current from power generating sources to the destination. Thus, HVDC systems are being adopted, as these are economical owing to reduced power loss and overall cost for large distance transmission compared with AC lines. The high voltage transmission of electricity in the form of DC over a long distance by means of underground cables, overhead transmission line or grid interconnection is the HVDC transmission system.
