Engineering with Rosie - Electricity Across Oceans: Is HVDC the Future? 11072023

How can we connect power grids across long distances or across seas and oceans? The answer is high voltage direct current, or HVDC, interconnectors. In this video Rosie explains how these differ to regular AC, alternating current transmission, the recent technology advances that are causing HVDC interconnectors to start popping up all over the place, and what challenges remain to be solved if we are going to connect places as far flung as Europe and North America.

Channel 4 News - World’s longest 'interconnector' to supply green electricity to 1.4 million UK homes 20072023

Across southern Europe the heatwave continues with the mercury predicted to hit 45 degrees celsius in Greece. So stopping the burning of fossil fuels which are overheating the planet is ever more urgent Chief Correspondent Alex Thomson reports from Lincolnshire, where engineers have installed the world's longest "interconnector". It runs between the UK and Denmark and will eventually supply green electricity to 1.4 million British homes.

Just Have a Think - Revolutionising power transmission 28052023

The energy transition solutions of the 21st Century will take many forms, with a complex mix of different power producers. Moving energy across ever greater distances will overcome much of the intermittency of renewables like wind and solar. The way we will achieve that is via truly mind boggling high voltage direct current transmission systems. The question is, can we manufacture them quickly enough?
