What is the primary role of High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) in modern long-distance power transmission?
2025-08-17High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology is now the preferred choice for modern long-distance power transmission, especially for connecting remote renewable energy sources—such as large-scale wind or solar farms—to urban load centers. Unlike traditional High-Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) systems, HVDC experiences significantly lower energy losses over long distances (typically 3% vs. 7% per 1,000 km), making it more efficient and economical for cross-country, underwater, and intercontinental power links.
