ABB gains $180 million order from utilities Statnett of Norway and Energinet.dk of Denmark to supply an HVDC Light? (high-voltage direct current) converter solution providing support to the interconnection of the Norwegian and Danish power grids. Skagerrak 4 will set the HVDC Light? voltage record. The 500 kV (kilovolt) link hails as a new record in transmission voltage by using this technology. The underwater link will develop transmission capacity connecting mainly the hydroelectric-based Norwegian system and the wind and thermal power-based Danish system. It will allow both networks to append more renewable energy to their energy mix while using electricity in an efficient way.
