HVDC links may be broadly classified into the following categories: Monopolar Links Bipolar Links Homopolar Links The basic configuration of a monopolar link is shown in figure. It uses one conductor, usually of negative polarity. The return path is provided by ground or water. Cost considerations often lead to the use of such systems, particularly […]

1) CONNECTING REMOTE GENERATION Some energy sources, such as hydro and solar power, are often located hundreds or thousands kilometers away from the load centers. HVDC will reliably deliver electricity generated from mountain tops, deserts and seas across vast distances with low losses. 2) INTERCONNECTING GRIDS Connecting AC grids is done for stabilization purposes and
