What about capacitive and inductive losses. These are significant in AC transmission lines, depending on their construction. I believe that's why high voltage interconnects between different countries are usually DC and use rotary convertors at the ends.
- formerly_proven 3y agoThe main reason for HV DC historically was that it doesn't require grids to be synchronous, or even of the same frequency. This is often desirable because a synchronous grid requires deep organizational integration. HV DC also lets you use mono-pole systems fairly easily, since they're single phase; sea or ground becomes the return path.
