Hello!Join Professor Dragan Jovcic, FIEEE for a thought-provoking seminar on the rapid advances in high-voltage DC transmission—especially the rise of VSC and MMC technologies enabling multi-terminal DC grids akin to complex AC systems. Explore real-world motivations such as the proposed 350 GW North Sea DC grid, limitations of AC over long subsea links, and technical challenges in protection, such as ultra-fast relay selectivity in under 0.5 ms, interoperability, self-protection, and ensuring reliability comparable to AC <a href="http://grids.-Date:" target="_blank" title="grids.-Date:">grids.-Date: Monday, 15 September 2025-Time: 5:15 PM – 8:00 PM (MDT)-Location: TransAlta Building, 1100 1 Street SE, Calgary, AB, T2G 1B1-Cost: CAD $40-Seats are limited—registration is required.
