I had 1% battery remaining after reading this post last night, so i typed the comment quickly.

A DC converter station can be step up DC to a very high voltage, up to 1100KV as evidenced by the new ultra-high voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission using Siemens Transformer. The only issue is that DC is not economical for short distance transmission,i.e. distances shorter than 600KM, at distances greater than 600KM, the AC losses increases so much that a DC setup becomes more efficient.
Ooooh
That should be an improvement in technology
I know from farday's law, flux must exist for a transformer to work
And dc got no flux
