In 1954, at a time when much of Europe was busy expanding its electricity supply infrastructure
to keep pace with surging demand, an event was quietly taking place on the shores of the Baltic
Sea that would have a lasting effect on long-distance power transmission. Four years earlier, the
Swedish State Power Board had placed an order for the world’s first commercial high-voltage
direct current (HVDC) transmission link, to be built between the Swedish mainland and the island
8 k+ A- t  N4 N, Pof Gotland. Now, in 1954, it was being commissioned.-%-97570-%--%-11576-%--%-11570-%-

Mercury-arc valve based HVDC had come a long way in a short time, but it was a
technology that still harbored some weaknesses. One was the difficulty in predicting the
behavior of the valves themselves. As they could not always absorb the reverse voltage,
arc-backs occurred. Also, mercury-arc valves require regular maintenance, during which
absolute cleanliness is critical. A valve that avoided these drawbacks was needed.
