HVDC Transmission / Wiley - IEEE (PDF)

HVDC is a critical solution to several major problems encountered
when trying to maintain systemic links and quality in large-scale
renewable energy environments. HDVC can resolve a number of issues,
including voltage stability of AC power networks, reducing fault
current, and optimal management of electric power, ensuring the
technology will play an increasingly important role in the electric
power industry.

To address the pressing need for an up-to-date and comprehensive
treatment of the subject, Kim, Sood, Jang, Lim and Lee have
collaborated to produce this key text and reference.
Combining classroom-tested materials from North America and Asia,
HVDC Transmission compactly summarizes the latest research
results, and includes the insights of experts from power systems,
power electronics, and simulation backgrounds. The authors
walk readers through basic theory and practical applications, while
also providing the broader historical context and future
development of HVDC technology.
