Saudi Arabia & India forge an important agreements to work together on many fronts including building a HVDC transmission line between them.
could help move power from one region to another, somewhat like how oil or gas pipelines do. Here are a few key points to consider:
A difference is they transmit power in real time as opposed to fuel that can later be used to produce electricity or heat homes.The sun doesn’t shine at night, so you have to either store energy from the daytime , use an alternative source, reduce nighttime demand, or get electricity from somewhere the sun is shining.
In high latitudes, the sun shines a lot less in the winter than in the summer. This Saudi/India line by itself won’t help with this problem, but other projects could provide electricity to high latitudes in their winter. A risk we should consider is that HVDC transmission would be subject to sabotage as oil and gas pipelines are in a time of war. This is, but what we can assume is someone took it out — it wasn’t an earthquake or hurricane. I still think this collaboration will become a valuable tool to reduce the use of fossil fuels, though. Fossil fuels are very susceptible to disruptions during wars, and not just by sabotage of pipelines — naval blockades can prevent the shipping of oil, natural gas, and coal.
