ssion and distributio. of electrical energy started with direct current. In 1882, a 50-km-long2-. V DC transmission line was built between Miesbach and Munich in Germany. At that time, conversion between reasonable consumer voltages and higher DC trans. ission voltages could only be realized by mean.
HVDC: HVDC is generally preferred for long-distance power transmission, such as undersea cables or overland transmission lines covering hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. HVAC: HVAC is commonly used for shorter-distance transmission within a region or between neighboring areas.
HVDC technology is ideally suited to support and improve the sustainability, efficiency, and reliability of power supply systems. High-voltage direct current transmission systems supplement the existing AC infrastructure through. highly efficient long-distance power transmission. grid access for onshore and offshore.
Reduced Corrosion: Corrosion on transmission lines, which can be a problem in some situations and with particular materials used in AC lines, is less likely to occur with HVDC transmission. Despite the fact that HVDC has numerous benefits, it''s crucial to remember that it also has drawbacks, such as greater upfront costs, the
High voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission lines are more efficient for transferring power over long distances, as they incur less power loss when compared with their equivalent high voltage alternating current (HVAC) transmission systems. There is no requirement for compensating reactive power along the transmission line, and higher

List of HVDC projects. This is a list of notable high-voltage direct-current power transmission projects. HVDC projects for long-distance transmission have two (or rarely, more) converter stations and a transmission line interconnecting them. Generally overhead lines are used for interconnection, but an important class of HVDC projects use
HVDC is more environmentally friendly than AC, providing more energy per square metre over greater distances more efficiently than AC systems, as well as lower losses and less space requirements. This increased efficiency reduces the carbon footprint of HVDC compared to AC, with losses being reduced from around 5-10% in AC
