The National Transmission Planning Study highlights the significant benefits of High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology in transmission expansion. It finds that HVDC offers greater control, modular designs, and efficiency in transmitting electricity over long distances. HVDC technology plays a crucial role in large-scale interregional transmission, particularly in the central U.S., and is key to achieving substantial cost savings and system reliability. The study emphasizes that HVDC's advanced multiterminal converters and transmission capabilities provide the most substantial benefits to consumers by enhancing grid resilience and supporting renewable energy integration.
