Solution IV: Matching renewable energy generation and demand over large distances with supergrids

ShowHide Quick Links

This solution focuses on building a high-voltage direct current grid, or supergrid, to transport renewable electricity from areas with high renewable generation potential to demand centes. The cost of building such a grid is high and must be measured against the economic benefits of both of the systems that the grid is linking (if two systems are involved). Read more
