  • Abstract
    The development of the Pacific HVDC Intertie (PDCI) is traced from inception in the 1960s to present day. The PDCI has undergone a number of changes and upgrades over the 36 years since its construction. The changes in the PDCI mirror the advances in HVDC technology over that period.
