DC power lines are electrical transmission and distribution systems designed to carry direct current electricity:
Physical Structure
- Two conductors (positive and negative poles)
- Simple tower or pole structures
- Compact design with minimal spacing requirements
- Underground or overhead installation options
Applications
- High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission
- Long-distance power transmission (thousands of kilometers)
- Submarine power cables
- Grid interconnections
- Renewable energy integration
Technical Characteristics
- Constant voltage and current direction
- Lower transmission losses over long distances
- Simpler insulation requirements
- No phase synchronization needed
- Requires converter stations at terminals
Key Components
- Transmission conductors
- Support structures
- Converter stations
- Circuit breakers
- Protection equipment
DC power lines are particularly efficient for bulk power transmission over long distances and underwater connections, where their simpler design and lower losses provide significant advantages.

Three high-voltage configurations with 2 GW capacity. The clearance required for the DC line is somewhat less than that required for the AC equivalents. http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2010/ph240/hamerly1/docs/hartley.pdf
