Power and Energy Society Paper on HVDC Loops

My paper on "Hybridizing HVDC Transmission with Non-Local Energy Storage and Large Dispatchable Loads for Load Leveling" was presented today at the IEEE Power and Energy Society meeting in Detroit (http://pes-gm.org/2011/). It was well received, and I managed to meet with several important scientists at this meeting, including Tom Overbye the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, and Hermann Koch from Siemens (a leading expert on gas insulated power lines (GIL).
