Abstract : High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission systems have become a vital technology for modern electrical power networks, offering efficient, reliable, and long-distance energy transfer compared to conventional AC systems. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of HVDC systems, covering their evolution, working principles, converter technologies, and applications in today’s smart grids. It discusses major converter types—Line-Commutated Converters (LCC) and Voltage Source Converters (VSC)—and their roles in enabling bulk power transmission, renewable energy integration, and interconnection of asynchronous networks. The development of Multiterminal DC (MTDC) systems, including series, parallel, and ring configurations, is also explored for their enhanced controllability, scalability, and operational flexibility. Key advantages of HVDC systems such as reduced transmission losses, improved voltage stability, and lower environmental impact are analyzed, along with current challenges including DC fault management, converter losses, and control coordination. The survey highlights ongoing advancements in wide-bandgap semiconductor devices, intelligent control algorithms, and hybrid AC/DC grid architectures that are shaping the next generation of transmission systems. Future research directions focus on improving converter efficiency, protection schemes, and system interoperability to achieve flexible, resilient, and sustainable power transmission. Overall, HVDC technology stands as a cornerstone of modern smart grids, enabling efficient long-distance power transfer, renewable integration, and global energy connectivity.

Keywords : Power Systems, Highvoltage DC Transmission Systems, Multi Teminal DC Systems, Voltage Sourcs Converters.
