New Market Research Report: Global HVDC Converter Stations Market 2016-2020
Power is generated, transmitted and distributed as AC, and most of the time, power is also consumed as AC. However, when transmitting power over long distances such as from an offshore wind farm, an AC line would be uneconomical due to the high power losses that such transmission involves. In such situations, DC power is used, and the conversion of AC power to DC for transmission is achieved using a converter station.
