HVDC lines are suited for this purpose because they require fewer conductors and incur less power loss than AC and also creates more stable connections.

The Cumbernauld centre offers collaborative testing and training for engineers across the energy industry, and has supported the development of various projects including the Caithness-Moray subsea transmission line and has also helped promote wider rollout of HVDC technologies since it opened. *Don't miss the latest headlines from around Lanarkshire.
