Great presentation of #HVDC and several recent and future long distance undersea interconnection projects.

UK, Netherlands plan 1.8 GW 'hybrid interconnection', connecting a Dutch offshore wind farm to both countries, and providing extra interconnection capacity at the same time.
Useful given the time difference in the occurrence of high and low wind speeds.

Currently enjoying the night sky in Alabama thinking about transmission for clean energy. We need an underground #HVDC super grid. Like now. More to come.

How to capture all benefits of #HVDC technology in the context of Cost-Benefits Analysis for #transmission grid planning? 🤔

"Researchers at Oak Ridge have developed a design and control system for a solar and storage plant that can provide power to BOTH AC and DC high-voltage lines. As a result, #renewable power can be more easily and reliably transmitted.

MARS ... is an all-in-one package that includes power electronics, electrical architecture, and #cybersecurity software. And because it’s plug-and-play, it’s easier and cheaper for utilities to get it online."

The link supplies 1,000 MW from Inga Falls #hydropower plant to Kolwezi mining region in the south. At 1,700km (1,056 mi), it is longest #HVDC link in Africa. It allows Democratic Republic of Congo to export surplus power to the Southern African Power Pool.

Removing barriers to a cleaner, more modern grid: @USDOTFHWA@twitter.com released guidance to state DOTs to support the use of highway right of way for transmission and renewables https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/real_estate/right-of-way/corridor_management/alternative_uses_guidance.cfm #HVDC #transmission @morgancputnam@twitter.com @ProrokMatt@twitter.com

Modeling firm Vibrant Clean Energy (VCE) has proposed a transmission “overlay” for the contiguous U.S., with about 210 underground high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission lines, 70 nodes, and underwater lines along nearly the entire coastline...

#HVDC systems can solve one of renewable energy’s biggest challenges: consistent supply. Wind farms generate too much energy when the wind blows and too little when it is still. Countries can access energy around the clock by connecting their grids to distant lands with different weather patterns."
