The new technology of Voltage Source Converters allows dc lines to be made into networks, much as ac lines are. However, some aspects of networking are different between ac (with which power engineers are familiar) and dc (which has not been networked). The first year of the study outlined the differences and began to explore some of the possibilities offered by networking dc. The follow-on work will continue to explore the benefits, and address some of the obstacles.
