HVDC electrodes are usually implemented in HVDC links to avoid the installation of a metallic return. Submarine cables, especially those dealing with lengths of thousands of kilometers, are expensive, and high costs of laying are normally expected. Due to the high number of reversible HVDC links, the marine electrodes must be able to withstand both anodic and cathodic operations, which leads to careful considerations in terms of the material to be used. This paper shows the state of the art of the currently installed reversible sea return electrodes, focusing on the type of installation (sea, shore or pond electrodes) and on the material used, from the first plant installed in 1954 up to the more recent ones established during the XXI century. All reported data derive from publicly available sources. Moreover, since nowadays environmental issues are among the most important topics, for each material and for each type of installation, a guideline on the possible interferences caused by marine electrodes with the surrounding environment is proposed.

“…In addition, methods to ensure the stability of power supply demand and im the system robustness by interconnecting with a large-scale grid through HVDC been proposed [16][17][18]. Each grid is decoupled by the DC stage of the HVDC, so it is able for linking nonsynchronous grids, such as those for islands, over long distanc the early days, the HVDC system was designed as a line commutated converter ( type for large-scale power transmission [19,20].…”

Rising renewable penetration has accelerated the volatility and instability of the power grid. A small-scale grid is especially vulnerable. Therefore, flexibility and stability enhancement are required for small-scale grids. The interconnection with the large-scale grid through the voltage sourced converter-high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) can be a solution to the aforementioned problems. VSC-HVDC can deliver power bidirectionally and change the direction in a short time. Hereby, the cooperative operation of distributed generations (DG) and a large-scale grid through the VSC-HVDC system is proposed in this paper. The VSC-HVDC will take the role of the main source of the small-scale grid. It determines the grid frequency based on its output power. DGs adjust their output power according to the grid frequency, and then the balance between the demand and the supply is maintained. To verify it, a PSCAD/EMTDC simulation was conducted using actual data from Jeju Island, including transmission lines, loads, and climate. Consequently, by the proposed method, the RE share was improved and the grid was operated stably even though the fault situations.
