Concept

The corona loss in a transmission line is directly proportional to the operating frequency.

PC α (f + 25)

where, PC = Corona loss

f = Operating frequency 

Calculation

fdc = 0 Hz and fac = 50 Hz

\({P_{DC}\over P_{AC}}={0+25\over 50+25}\)

\({P_{DC}}={1\over 3}P_{AC}\)

Hence, the corona loss in DC transmission is less than AC.
