  2. High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

    Long distance HVDC lines carrying hydroelectricity from Canada's Nelson River to this converter station where it is converted to AC for use in southern Manitoba's grid. A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system uses direct current (DC) for electric power transmission, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) transmission systems.

  3. HVDC converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter

    This makes voltage-source converters much easier to connect into a Multi-terminal HVDC system or "DC Grid". [27] HVDC systems based on voltage-source converters normally use the six-pulse connection because the converter produces much less harmonic distortion than a comparable LCC and the twelve-pulse connection is unnecessary.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter_station

    HVDC cable termination and DC smoothing reactor on the Baltic Cable HVDC link. The direct current equipment often includes a coil (called a reactor) that adds inductance in series with the DC line to help smooth the direct current. The inductance typically amounts to between 0.1 H and 1 H. The smoothing reactor can have either an air-core or an ...

    450kV HVDC line (at right), on south side of Autoroute 20 east of the Nicolet station near Sainte-Eulalie, Quebec.. The Quebec – New England Transmission (officially known in Quebec as the Réseau multiterminal à courant continu (RMCC) [1] and also known as Phase I / Phase II [2] and the Radisson - Nicolet - Des Cantons circuit, [3] and known in New England as the Northern Pass) is a long ...

    From there, a subsea cable runs to landfall at Noss Head in Caithness, with onward connection to an HVDC switching station north of the village of Staxigoe in Caithness. [ 6 ] [ 19 ] The route of the cable crosses TAT-10 , TAT-14 and Atlantic Crossing 1 telecommunication cables and the Piper – Flotta oil pipeline.
