The Western HVDC Link

Alan Capon
I did originally answer the previous thread, but have since deleted my response and I believe a new thread with a proper and correct title is the correct way of answering. 


More info on the fault here: https://www.energy-reporters.com/transmission/italys-prysmian-under-fire-over-uk-interconnector-failure/ 


Reports suggest an undersea cable fault in the vicinity of Liverpool Bay. 


Regards,


Alan.

    The long AC links on land usually have intermediate loading or phase correction components.

    Under water this is not so sensible.

    The water does increase the AC losses if the cables are spaced with water between.

    Long land links with nothing part way along can also be DC, there is a trade off of costs

    and losses at the inverters vs loading/tuning of the reactance.
