High Voltage Direct Current Transmission: Converters, Systems and DC Grids, 2nd Edition, is a comprehensive textbook that examines modern direct current transmission technologies and the foundational principles of DC grid design.

The volume addresses major transmission topologies, including Line Commutated Converter, Voltage Source Converter, and Modular Multilevel Converter configurations. Key subjects encompass fundamental converter operating principles, loss calculations, dynamic system modelling, control methods, and the technical integration of direct current links into alternating current networks.

Reflecting recent market and research developments, this edition provides expanded treatment of DC grid protection, switchgear, and DC/DC converters. The work also includes access to SimPowerSystems models and illustrative examples for all topologies through the first edition companion website.
