Long Distance, No Problem: HVDC Makes Offshore Wind a Reality

More about the book

The book examines High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission as a solution to the challenges posed by offshore wind farms. Unlike traditional AC systems, HVDC maintains energy efficiency over long distances, ensuring that more wind power reaches the mainland grid. It also provides enhanced control over electricity flow, essential for managing the variability of wind energy. The discussion includes technical insights into HVDC technology, along with its environmental and economic advantages, highlighting its role in advancing sustainable energy solutions.
