Enabling Next Generation Direct Current (DC) Power Networks

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Large centralized non-renewable power-generating plants are being displaced by many smaller dispersed renewable-based power-generating sources in the drive towards realizing a more sustainable and efficient electric power system. To facilitate the large-scale integration of these renewable energy resources, e.g. wind and solar, the prospect of direct current (DC) power networks is gaining traction due to the superior technical benefits they offer over alternating current (AC) networks. In particular, high-voltage dc (HVDC) transmission is widely considered a key backbone technology for future DC networks.
