Oh Gee now the rain is coming in thru the whole in the roof!!!!!
One nose croc means well but the very hi cost of HV DC would NEVER be justified for the tiny mouse power output of solar and windymills.
Doesn't everybody have just one nose.
Can U just imagine the absolute absurdity of a very expensive HV DC system being connected to a tiny mouse power solar system at nite ?
Sounds like the fantasy stuff you see on the Greenie Propaganda Web sites.
Progressive countries all around the world are rushing into totally reliable Clean Coal Power Stations which provide endless cheap power for industry.
How many inner city Greenies have solar panels ?
Give it up Jules. Your profound lack of knowledge in this area may be transparent to some but to experts like me it is obvious.
There are already a considerable number of very large HVDC installation around the globe including our own back yard. The 6400 MW system is around three times the capacity of the largest plant's production in this country.
The Basslink system linking Lou Yang to Tassie is over 400 kms carrying 500 MW. Hardly tiny. The world list is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HVDC_projects
Even the sheep shaggers over the ditch are outdoing us with the Benmore link running 600 kms carrying 735 MW.
As for cost, why run three cables when you can run two. Absolute immunity to reactive loads.
The good ol' sun lands 1100 W per m^2. A square km 1100 MW. Hardly mouse power. Distribution and wide area are the keys. It might be raining in Kickatinalong but not somewhere else.
