ADC energy. More efficient electricity transmission?

[FlyingClayDisk]

Commercial Farms along with Residential use Inverters. NASA is pointing out their inefficiencies along with dirty electricity [noise] from same.

I understand this.  But that's not the larger picture...if you read the entire paper.

BTW - "NASA" isn't pointing out anything in this paper.  "NASA" just allowed their name to be put on an advertisement from ADC Energy, to lend it an air of credibility.

edit - Yes, the paper does talk about harmonic noise, but that is secondary to the main thrust which is DC power being carried on AC distribution infrastructure.

edit II - And yes, I also realize that inverters are used on commercial solar and wind farms.  This doesn't change the fact that the distribution grids where this power is being generated are not suitable for transporting this power to where it is being consumed.  These inverters aren't transforming this power into distribution grade AC, and that's the point.  Yes, they convert to AC, but they don't convert the power to anywhere near the voltages required for distribution.  Why?  Because it's too expensive. 

The argument being presented here is that this power can be left in its native DC state and then traverse the same infrastructure as the AC distribution grid to avoid this problem.  ...but only if we buy their fancy, and proprietary, ADC widget.

And yes, ...all about Denying Ignorance.

Trust me, I've been involved in the engineering and construction of some of the largest solar arrays in the western United States (as much as I hate to even admit this, and am shamed by it).  I know exactly how it all works.  Exactly.  I also know how and where it all fails...and why.  Exactly.
