The NREL Seams Study says a continent-scale HVDC macrogrid would cost $28 billion, or 11% of Jeff Bezos' net worth.
i miss when rich people dick measured against each other by the quality of public works prrojects that they funded as opposed to dick measuring about who can be more racist

Decarb idea: "pipelines" full of HVDC wires so we can get some damn federal backstop authority.
"What is this pipeline for?"
...Aluminum? Mostly?

The Canadian government is investing $40 million in Hitachi Energy Canada's HVDC transformer manufacturing & testing etc.
Because of this Hitachi Energy Canada’s projects will rise from $164.2 million to $410 million & 67 full-time equivalent jobs to 300 FTEs.

I have spent the last 2 years working on HVDC cable security plans, and yet my brain always wants to write ACDC, and then chuckles at itself. It's not even funny anymore 😂

There are HVDC cables connecting the British grid with NL, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, to use Norwegian hydro for storage when there's wind and then allow it to be exported when there isn't. How hard would Scotland-to-England HVDC be?

Everyone knows that electricity is transmitted most efficiently with extremely high voltage AC overhead lines... So what's the HVDC stuff?
This video explains the history (and the "why") of HVDC.
HVDC converters are still made in Sweden by Hitachi Energy, who bought ABB's HVDC unit in 2021

One underreported technological driver of the clean energy revolution is improvements in electric insulation. Used to be, you needed actively cooled and pumped dielectric oil sheathing for HVAC. Now, cheap XLPE-insulated cables can carry over 500kV HVDC

It is not without reason, for instance, that VW is building its new electric cars in Mirabella; Spain’s low energy costs represent a tangible competitive advantage. EU plans envisage an HVDC line running through France, Germany, and Poland all the way to the Scandinavian countries.
