This video covers:

ANGLE-DC aims to demonstrate novel network reinforcement

Will convert existing 33kV double AC circuit to DC operation

Will use 30.5 MVA symmetrical monopole DC circuit operating at ±27 kV

Will explore the feasibility of MVDC technology and provide real-life data on converter operation

Will increase network capacity and generation headroom to accelerate connection of low carbon generation
