HVDC Light is an alternative to conventional AC transmission or local generation in many situations.
HVDC Light
® has important advantages, such as undergound cables instead of overhead lines, short delivery times, compact stations, controllability of power and voltages, possibility for multiteminal operation, etc.
The fact that it is possible to build a long electric power transmission underground and avoid public opposition and long uncertain approval processes, makes the HVDC Light system very attractive.
