Electrode line, the Glossary
An electrode line is used in some high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) power transmission systems, to connect the converter stations to distant ground electrodes.[1]

Anode
An anode is an electrode of a polarized electrical device through which conventional current enters the device.
Cathode
A cathode is the electrode from which a conventional current leaves a polarized electrical device.
See Electrode line and Cathode
Corrosion
Corrosion is a natural process that converts a refined metal into a more chemically stable oxide.
See Electrode line and Corrosion
Electrode
An electrode is an electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit (e.g. a semiconductor, an electrolyte, a vacuum or air).
See Electrode line and Electrode
Ground (electricity)
In electrical engineering, ground or earth may be a reference point in an electrical circuit from which voltages are measured, a common return path for electric current, or a direct physical connection to the Earth. Electrode line and ground (electricity) are electric power.
See Electrode line and Ground (electricity)
High-voltage direct current
A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system uses direct current (DC) for electric power transmission, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) transmission systems.
See Electrode line and High-voltage direct current
HVDC converter station
An HVDC converter station (or simply converter station) is a specialised type of substation which forms the terminal equipment for a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line.
See Electrode line and HVDC converter station
HVDC Italy–Corsica–Sardinia
The HVDC Italy–Corsica–Sardinia (also called SACOI; Sardinia–Corsica–Italy) is an HVDC interconnection used for the exchange of electric energy between the Italian mainland, Corsica and Sardinia.

International Council on Large Electric Systems
The International Council on Large Electric Systems (CIGRE) is a global nonprofit organisation in the field of high voltage electricity.
