Abstract
The application of HVDC transmission has been expanding due to the rapid progress of power electronics technology driven by increasing needs for connection of offshore or remote wind farms and/or large hydropower generators. HVDC transmission brings several technical benefits such as less system stability problems in a DC system compared with AC transmission and low energy loss for long-distance transmission. In the near future, multiterminal HVDC transmission connected to offshore wind power generation will be constructed. Figure 16.1 shows the future multiterminal HVDC transmission planned in Europe (Hafner et al. 2011) and the future ASEAN international networks combined with HVAC and HVDC transmissions.
