HVDC Transmission: A Path to the Future?

The Electricity Journal, 2010, vol. 23, issue 4, 27-41

Abstract: Direct current transmission has been the poor stepchild of the U.S. electric industry. Although early-generation plants were based on DC technology, it was soon deemed uneconomical to transmit electricity over long distances, but it now appears poised for a change. Both the increasing technical potential and changing economics of HVDC lines promise a growing role in the future.
