  Global demand for electric power will continue to grow significantly in the years ahead, a trend that will seriously impact the expansion of power plant capacities and adaptation of power supply systems. All in all, enormous investments will be necessary in the near future in power generation, and thus also in power transmission. High-voltage direct current transmission (HVDC) will play a major role in this scenario, especially for long-distance links but also for submarine cable links or for interconnecting disparate power supply systems where necessary.
