HVDClinkkejä

HVDClinkkejä is a term that refers to connections or links utilizing High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology. HVDC is a method of transmitting electrical power that uses direct current (DC) for the bulk transmission of power. This contrasts with the more common High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) systems. HVDC is particularly effective for transmitting large amounts of power over long distances, such as across continents or under the sea, and for interconnecting asynchronous AC grids.

The "linkkejä" part of the term suggests a network or a series of such connections. These HVDC links allow for efficient power transfer with lower losses compared to AC over the same distance. They are crucial for enabling the integration of renewable energy sources, like offshore wind farms, into the main power grid. Furthermore, HVDC links can provide better control and stability to the interconnected power systems. The development of these links is a significant aspect of modern power infrastructure, facilitating international energy trade and enhancing grid reliability.
