  • Abstract
    The advantages of direct-current (DC) over alternating-current (AC) for the transmission of electric power have long been recognized. Considering the transmission line per se, and neglecting terminal equipment, the advantages of DC are overwhelming, and include the following: 1. Improved utilization of the transmission corridor or cable. 2. Complete control over power flow. 3. Absence of phase-angle or synchronization problems. 4. Absence of line reactance problems.
