The War of Currents Thomas Edison
pioneered DC distribution while Tesla and Westinghouse adopted AC
Voltage conversion was not efficiently possible with the DC grid. Voltage drop, then, wreaked havoc as loads varied and at the ends of lines.
DC distribution was manageable in urban locations but impossible in rural areas due to low customer density.
The majority of loads ran at ~100 volts. Larger loads, though required separate circuits be ran at very high costs.

Innovations in DC Technology Mercury-Arc Tubes and Vacuum Diodes allowed for
the rectification of AC to DC Thyristors and IGBTs allow conversion both to and
from DC

DC Transmission Theory
DC generation is not practical on a large scale due to the need for large permanent magnets or brushes. DC, then, is only viable as a transmission method between AC grids
HVDC lines typically run in the hundreds of kV, generally around 500 kV.
![Page 7: Testbed Thrust Overview - web.eecs.utk.edu](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052108/628839c1f63f56299c1c5a03/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why use DC for Transmission Anyway?
DC is more efficient than AC for transmission. It does not exhibit losses due to skin effect thus conductors can be sized smaller.
DC can serve as a link between non-syncronized AC grids.
Line losses are largely eliminated- capacitive, inductive, radiation.

Thyristor Valve Advances
• Thyristor valves have made significant advances in the past ten years
• Development of light triggered thyristors • Control unit advancement • Has helped keep electrically triggered
thyristors as the popular choice

IGBT Valves
Insulated gate bipolar transistor valves allow the current in the lines to be extinguished completely and quickly
This property allows for much more versatility than standard HVDC lines can provide
![Page 13: Testbed Thrust Overview - web.eecs.utk.edu](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052108/628839c1f63f56299c1c5a03/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Active DC Filters
Digitally controlled amplifiers actively cancel interfering currents on lines
Compared to the use of shunt filter branches, this is cheaper and easier to maintain and operate
![Page 14: Testbed Thrust Overview - web.eecs.utk.edu](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052108/628839c1f63f56299c1c5a03/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Optical Direct Current Transducers
• Use high precision shunt at high potential to send signals over glass optical fibers
• Allows for much smaller components than the porcelain counterparts
• Cheap and effective method for lowering flashover probability.
