DC Transmission Unit
A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) system uses direct current (DC) and high voltages (between 100 kV and 800 kV) for electric power transmission. It is in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) transmission systems. For a given quantity of transmitted, doubling the voltage will deliver the same power at only half the cur. A long-distance, point-to-point HVDC transmission scheme generally has lower overall investment cost and lower losses than an equivalent AC transmission scheme.
