OverviewHistoryHigh voltage transmissionComparison with ACConversion processConfigurationsCorona dischargeApplications

The first long-distance transmission of electric power was demonstrated using direct current in 1882 in the 57 km Miesbach-Munich Power Transmission, but only 1.5 kW was transmitted. An early method of HVDC transmission was developed by the Swiss engineer René Thury and his method, the Thury system, was put into practice by 1889 in Italy by the Acquedotto De Ferrari-Galliera company. This system used series-conn
