High Voltage Direct Current Transmission Systems
HV Direct Current Transmission Systems (HVDC)
Today’s challenges in power transmission ask for flexible and effective technical solutions. Siemens´ well proven High Voltage DC (HVDC) technology is the adequate solution for economical power transmission over very long distances and also a trusted method to connect asynchronous grids or grids of different frequencies. Therewith HVDC power transmission is the only realistic alternative to AC technology.
- HVDC Classic:
A HVDC Classic DC link connects two separate high voltage AC systems via long distance overhead lines or sea cables as well as two independent neighboring systems with incompatible electrical parameters.
more - Ultra HVDC Transmission System:
Ultra High Voltage DC System – the new dimension of efficiency in HVDC transmission at a level of 800 kV DC voltage providing power capacities up to 7 GW.
more - HVDC PLUS (VSC Technology):
HVDC PLUS is an advanced and flexible solution for power transmission in fields where shortage of space is a criterion. An innovative technical converter concept allows power transmission from remote offshore platforms and wind farms to the onshore grid.
