which transmission is cheaper ac or dc?

Answer Posted / eng_entropy

I agree with Manya and adding that:-

1-HVDC transimission line have lower losses than Ac lines
for the same power capacity.

2-It is very easy to control the active power in the link
in HVDC systems.

3-HVDC system is the only way to make an exchange of power
between two different networks.


HVDC . . . High Voltage DC system
