Operations involve all the activities you need to do to make sure everything runs smoothly.

To tell you more about it, we invited Dirk Uhde, Head of HSE and Operations at Hitachi Energy. In this episode, he walks us through the operations process and the strategies implemented that make it more sustainable.

A factory is far from a plain and boring building; it’s a bustling hive of creativity and innovation where raw materials are transformed into groundbreaking technologies.

Our guest, Claire Carmona, Operating Unit Manager of the Gas-Insulated Switchgear factory in Europe, guides us through the manufacturing process and shares the ins and outs of a state-of-the-art factory.

Research & Development (R&D) is the driving force behind new innovations and better solutions. It is the key to advance high-voltage solutions by creating significant and high-quality improvements. 

Tune in to this episode where Markus Bujotzek gives an inside look at the R&D process for high-voltage technology, revealing insights into how various challenges were solved and breakthrough innovations were made.

High-voltage systems consist of several components, each serving a significant function to ensure the grid is reliable, stable, and safe. 

In this episode, hear Dr. Christian Ohler breaks down the fascinating world of high-voltage systems, from different types of switchgear to the mechanics behind electricity pylons.

The energy transition, or ‘Energiewende’, refers to the shift from fossil fuels to renewable resources and more importantly, its bigger goal is to cut CO₂ emissions overall, and high voltage is essential to achieving this. 

In our first episode, Dr. Markus Heimbach takes us through the history of the grid, explains why energy networks vary across the world, and tells us about the game-changing high-voltage innovations that are shaping the grid today.
