HVDC is the main contributor for electricity transmission to meet the net zero emissions (NZE) 2050 (F2F)
1.5deg above pre-industrial levels can limit irreversible effects of climate change, it is the target or NZE 2050. Due to intermittence of renewable energy power plant, the electrical power transmission should utilise Super Grid which can connect the electrical networks globally. The HVDC can interconnect un-synchronised Electrical power networks. Efficiency is a key pillar for reaching NZE 2050.
