Abstract

Large-scale integration of renewable energy resources in the Alternating Current (AC) grids will have a serious impact on power system operation. The development of the Direct Current (DC) is presented as a solution to overcome some of the negative impacts on massive micro-generation deployment. Over 100 years later, from the time when AC was proving superior over DC, the existing AC electric power grids, equipment, and transmission method facing a big challenge from DC. In this paper, what has changed since Edison and Westinghouse public battle are firstly discussed? Then the high voltage DC (HVDC) transmission system is depicted the developmental history and the system׳s structure, and the HVDC applications based on voltage-source converters (VSCs) combined with the renewable generation are introduced, such as onshore, offshore wind, and City Power Supply. Then, those key technologies are represented. Finally, how to build future electricity grid network and VSCs-HVDC may improve the world is explored, and some recommendations are proposed.
