The HVDC system is suitable forinterconnecting two asynchronous power systems, as well as for undersea and undergroundelectric transmission systems. For bulk power transmission over long distances, HVDC systemsare less expensive and suffer lower losses compared to high voltage alternating current (HVAC)transmission systems. Multi-terminal HVDC systems may provide a better alternative forunderground transmission systems in urban areas and large cities.
