“…The state of the art in line-commutated HVDC technology is represented by the Zhundong-Sichuan line, in China (±1,100 kV, 10 GW, 2600 km), while the highest voltage, VSC-HVDC cable is Skagerrak 4, between Norway and Denmark (±500 kV, 700 MW, 240 km) [115]. According to the analysis made in [116] for the line-commutated technology, HVDC lines can optimally transport 2 GW of power with 2% losses between points located up to 10 000 km apart.…”

Proceedings of the IEEE 1 ABSTRACT | Efficient, resilient, and sustainable electricity delivery is a key cornerstone in increasingly large and complex urban environments, where citizens expect to keep or rise their living standards. In this context, cost-effective and ubiquitous digital technologies are driving the transformation of existing electrical infrastructures into truly smart systems capable of better providing the services a low-carbon society is demanding. The goal of this paper is twofold: 1) to review the dramatically evolving landscape of power systems, from the old framework based on centralized generation and control, aimed at serving inelastic customers through alternating current (ac) transmission networks and one-way distribution feeders, to a new paradigm centered mainly around two main axes: renewable generation, both centralized and distributed, and active customers (prosumers), interacting with each other through hybrid ac/dc smart grids; 2) to illustrate, through featured success stories, how several smart grid concepts and technologies have been put into practice in Spain over the last few years to optimize the performance of urban electrical assets.

“…Highvoltage direct-current transmission (HVDC) becomes preferred to alternating-current (HVAC) technology when transmission line length exceeds a certain break-even distance as shown by Figure 2 [18]. Intermittent sources such as wind and solar are typically located in remote areas far away from population centers and will likely make greater use of HVDC transmission in the future [19].…”

“…As the makeup of global energy production shifts from predominantly fossil fuels to a complex blend of sources, more efficient long-distance power transmission will be necessary. Highvoltage direct-current transmission (HVDC) becomes preferred to alternating-current (HVAC) technology when transmission line length exceeds a certain break-even distance as shown by Intermittent sources such as wind and solar are typically located in remote areas far away from population centers and will likely make greater use of HVDC transmission in the future [19].…”
