HVDC for sustainable energy systems

Electricity transmission technology allows us to connect remote renewable sources of electrical power—like hydro, solar, or wind generation—to load centers where they are needed, hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away.

Raising operational challenges and identifying the optimal set of technologies, business models, and regulatory frameworks is helping to accommodate higher shares of sustainable energy sources, transport, industries, and buildings while simultaneously increasing the reliability and resiliency of power supply.

The HVDC market is growing rapidly and has become an essential part of many transmission networks. The HVDC transmission systems form the backbone of the electric power system, combining high reliability with a long, useful life. The HVDC technology from Hitachi Energy is truly shaping the energy systems of the future toward a carbon-neutral world and sustainable energy future for us all.
