Opportunity knocks for HVDC Light: Hitachi ABB Power Grids

摘要

The first multi-terminal HVDC Light connections are being installed in meshed networks, offering significant improvements in system reliability and efficiency, according to Niklas Persson, Managing Director of Hitachi ABB Power Grids' Grid Integration business unit. As any power engineer will tell you, high voltage direct current technology is ideal for long distance A-to-B bulk transport of electricity, virtually eliminating the losses seen on comparable alternating current (AC) technology.
