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.
