Today’s demand for integrating renewables into energy supply has made HVDC transmission a much more interesting option than in the past. This is triggered by factors such as that HVDC systems may be less expensive in terms of required equipment investment (converter stations, overhead lines, etc.), that electrical losses are lower and that right-of-ways...
