Gas-insulated direct current lines instead of power lines for the energy revolution?
The end point of the underground line and power connection for 5000 A direct current. Due to the compact design of these cables, five gigawatts of power - the power of four to five large power plant units - can be transmitted over a route width of only six meters.
