| High power DC transmission lines are coming back |
11/30/2022 |
|
Ohmic (resistive) losses in power-transmission lines were unavoidable. The only solution was to increase the line voltage used for power transmission, thus decreasing the line current by the same factor. Because ohmic power losses are proportional to the square of the current (P = I2R), the savings are exponential and significant.
