Why HVDC?A proven technology

Efficient bulk power transmission over longdistancesTransmission technology of choice for largescale renewable integrationHigher transmission capacity/lower capitalcostsSmaller transmission corridorInterconnection of networks on differentfrequenciesGrid interconnections to balance loads andfacilitate power tradingInstant and precise power flow control

Distinct advantages

Stronger, smarter, more flexible gridsStronger, smarter, more flexible grids


Why HVDC Light?Special features make it ideal for many evolving trends

Technology of choice for

§ Offshore wind power integration

§ Cross border interconnections

§ Power supply to islands

§ Shore supply to offshore platforms

§ City center in-feed

§ Embedded DC in AC to strengthen ACnetwork

§ Suited for future DC grid applications
