Alstom is a world leader in transport infrastructure, power generation and electrical grid. With its presence in over 100 countries around the world, Alstom has undeniably achieved countless breakthroughs and developed efficient technologies for the production of electricity. With the burgeoning demand for power, Alstom pioneered yet another innovation to meet it. Alstom is one of the pioneers of the high voltage direct current (HVDC) interconnections and has been providing this technology for 50 years. While high voltage transmission systems can be high voltage AC (HVAC), HVDC is more efficient when transmitting large amounts of power over long distances, and when using energy sources remote from load centres.
