But, the switching/control equipment is substantially more complicated, voltage conversion is hard due to transformers not working at DC, and you still need to suffer inverter inefficiencies to convert things to AC for domestic use.
- tlb 12y agoRight, so it only makes sense for very long distances where the cost & losses in the inverters are less than the losses from AC transmission.
