Nuclear Engineering The ground/sea electrode or metallic return is an essential part of the existing high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission systems for carrying its return current. Besides the costly presence of the ground/sea electrode or metallic return in the conventional HVDC topologies, the ground/sea electrode is producing severe adverse effects on the environment and alternating current (AC) power systems nearby (e.g. corrosion of buried metallic structures, soil/water overheating, DC bias in power transformers, etc.).
