High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC)

High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) is a technology used to transmit electricity over long distances with minimal loss. Unlike traditional AC (alternating current) systems, HVDC uses direct current at very high voltages, allowing for efficient, stable, and cost-effective transmission. It’s especially useful for connecting distant power sources, such as offshore wind farms or remote renewable energy sites, to main grids. HVDC also helps control power flow, improve grid stability, and reduce electromagnetic interference. Overall, it enables large-scale, efficient transfer of electricity across long distances with fewer losses and greater reliability.
