Thanks for the interesting update on progress in the Zoom meeting yesterday, John.

A 'rabbit hole' issue of national HVDC transmission cropped up (after you showed us the DC to DC converter).

I looked this on the web - I'd not come across it before.

AC national transmission does indeed have some disadvantages…

  • Skin effect (not so with DC)
  • Capacitive and Inductive losses over long distances.
  • Requires synchronization across connections.

The first two were mentioned.

I learnt something new…
