DESCRIPTION:Hello!\n\nJoin Professor Dragan Jovcic\, FIEEE for a thought-pr
 ovoking seminar on the rapid advances in high-voltage DC transmission—es
 pecially the rise of VSC and MMC technologies enabling multi-terminal DC g
 rids akin to complex AC systems. Explore real-world motivations such as th
 e proposed 350 GW North Sea DC grid\, limitations of AC over long subsea l
 inks\, and technical challenges in protection\, such as ultra-fast relay s
 electivity in under 0.5 ms\, interoperability\, self-protection\, and ensu
 ring reliability comparable to AC grids.\n\n-\nDate: Monday\, 15 September
