sounds more like we should just change away from a shitty system that needs to be a specific frequency. If only there was an alternative....
What alternative are you suggesting?
high voltage DC, it was a bad idea in the past due to the difficulty of changing voltage, but Buck boost converters exist now, as due inverters.
Tell this idea to an electrical engineer, and bring a stopwatch to time how many minutes they laugh for
Now imagine replacing all transformers with buck-boost converters...
Nah. We'll go more primitive. We'll do all our voltage and AC/DC conversions...mechanically! Do what they did to power DC subway systems back at the start of the 20th century. Just have a big AC motor directly coupled to a big DC generator! And we can use gearing to convert voltages! Let's bring a needlessly complex and steampunk aesthetic to our electric grid!
Higher frequency and voltage tolerance
