 Long distance HVDC lines carrying hydroelectricity from Canada's Nelson river to this converter station where it is converted to AC for use in Winnipeg's local grid |
The advantage of HVDC is the ability to transmit large amounts of power over long distances with lower capital costs and with lower losses than AC. Depending on voltage level and construction details, losses are quoted as about 3% per 1,000 km. High-voltage direct current transmission allows efficient use of energy sources, remote from load centers.
