Ole and Fredric Fletcher, pay attention to the polarity and methodology of transmission of the HVDC. Remember the articles regarding the earth ground return problems up in dairy country, Wisconsin where cattle were being electrocuted by poor grounding systems in rural electric grid. I can recite a real life problem with imposing a potential into the earth on the dealing with ground return. One of our Nursing facilities had three seperate buildings that shared a two pipe chilled / hot water system with buried steel 4 inch lines (supply/ return). The electrical system was 480VAC backbone with delta/wye step down transformers which gave a base 208VAC with center tap ground for 120VAC. The facility operated just fine for 50 years. Along came an Electrical Contractor that installed a new distribution transformer (100 KVA) during an upgrade to one of the out buildings. After operation for several years the buried 4 inch steel AC/heating lines developed leaks and sections of the removed lines showed electrolyitic (galvanic) errosion. I discovered that the Contractor had installed a delta/delta step-down (100 KVA) transformer and grounded one (L-2) of the Secondary terminals to get a neutral buss common for 120VAC. A huge NO,NO cause you had a potential of 230V to earth ground. The difference in ground potential between buildings created the galvanic errosion because there was a ground return current back to the 480/208VAC backbone in the mains building. This was a huge lesson on the problems encountered with relying on earth ground return path.

Ole, thank you for the photos of the HV components of the HVDC systems. Take a look at this attachment from Seimens.. These systems are certainly impressive and they have to use huge halls for totally indoor operation at such high potentials ( one million V) vs the old HVAC outdoor yards.

Norm, In South America the largest electric utilities are building HVDC with ground carrying half the circuit.

Mick, from my friend Fredric Fletcher who is working with HVDC transmission lines. In my experience I think it is wise to not rely upon earth return. There is even some logic to not having an earthen system. The earth returns for the Pacific Intertie at Sylmar impose so much current in the water lines there that the water pipes can only handle it for a half hour. An ocean grounding line reduces that flow substantially. It is in the process of being replaced now as the original one has corroded. With regards to the Southern Transmission System there has been a lawsuit on the earth return that has been in process for over 20 years regarding some hog and dairy operations. None of the businesses have been successful, they are all out of work failed operators. I think it is an effort supported only by the attorneys who have some hope of recouping some fees for a quarter of a century of legal work. But it has been shown in the court that the operators can not even correlate the current flows on the farms with the operation of the line. There can be a lot of imagination in electrical effects.
