System And Method For Loop-Based Direct Current Electrical Power Transmission System

Electrical power is traditionally transmitted with high-voltage alternating current transmission lines. For some limited applications, high-voltage direct current is used to transmit electrical power since direct current transmission is much more efficient. However, due to the high costs of high-voltage alternating to high-voltage direct current conversion equipment, direct current transmission is rarely use. To provide direct current electrical transmission at a reduced cost, a loop-based direct current transmission system is disclosed. The loop-based direct current system operates by carrying direct current in a loop that coupled individual power consumer and power generating nodes. Each node can add voltage to or subtract voltage from the current loop.
