High-voltage direct current (HVDC) is ideal for bridging the distances between large-scale renewable power generating installations such as offshore wind farms and the load centers they serve. In a multi-terminal configuration, the collecting of renewable power can be com-bined with pan-continental inte-gration of power transmission systems, such as for intercon-necting multiple regional or national AC grids.
In coordination with the con-nected AC systems, HVDC can provide important services for maintaining power system stability under even the most challenging conditions. HVDC thereby plays a key enabler role in the energy transition.
