Direct Current (DC) Transmission is a technology used to transmit electricity over long distances. It is used to transmit electricity from power plants to substations, and from substations to end-users. DC transmission is more efficient than Alternating Current (AC) transmission, as it reduces power losses and requires fewer components. It is also more reliable, as it is less affected by external factors such as weather. DC transmission is used in a variety of applications, including high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission, which is used to transmit electricity over long distances, and medium-voltage direct current (MVDC) transmission, which is used to transmit electricity over shorter distances. DC transmission is becoming increasingly popular due to its efficiency and reliability. It is being used in a variety of applications, including renewable energy integration, grid stabilization, and interconnection of power grids. Some companies in the DC transmission market include ABB, Siemens, General Electric, Toshiba, Hitachi, and Mitsubishi Electric. Show Less Read more
