Sood, Vijay K (31 May 2004). HVDC and FACTS Controllers: Applications of Static Converters in Power Systems. Springer-Verlag. p. 1. ISBN 978-1-4020-7890-3. The first 25 years of HVDC transmission were sustained by converters having mercury arc valves till the mid-1970s. The next 25 years till the year 2000 were sustained by line-commutated converters using thyristor valves. It is predicted that the next 25 years will be dominated by force-commutated converters [4]. Initially, this new force-commutated era has commenced with Capacitor Commutated Converters (CCC) eventually to be replaced by self-commutated converters due to the economic availability of high-power switching devices with their superior characteristics.
