Enabling Next Generation Direct Current (DC) Power Networks

在实现更可持续和更高效的电力系统的过程中，大型的集中式不可再生发电厂正在被许多小型的分散式可再生发电来源所取代。为了促进这些可再生能源的大规模整合，例如风能和太阳能，直流（DC）电网的前景正在获得牵引力，因为它们提供了比交流（AC）网络更优越的技术优势。特别是高压直流（HVDC）传输被广泛认为是未来直流网络的关键骨干技术。

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.
