Abstract:
A direct current power transmission system includes a first direct current power transmission network operating at a first voltage level for delivering power to a second direct current power transmission network operating at a second voltage level, where the first direct current power transmission network comprised a group of rectifiers, each connected to an alternating current source, a DC/DC converter station including at least one DC/DC converter providing an interface between the first and second direct current power transmission networks, and a group of transmission lines, each connected between a corresponding rectifier and the DC/DC converter station.
