The 8th International Conference on AC and DC Power Transmission (ACDC 2006) (Paperback)

There have been many developments in ACDC technologies since the last conference which was held 5 years ago. These developments bring benefits to asset managers and system operators. There have been changes in the marketplace, with further de-regulation and the growth of merchant transmission schemes. The wider implementation of renewable technologies is having an increasing impact on network development. New challenges are arising from environmental, regulatory, political and social factors, which impact on the development of transmission networks.
