New transmission technology delivers up to 1,000 megawatts (MW) of power via underground or underwater cables
ABB will unveil the next generation of its HVDC (High-Voltage Direct Current) Light technology that enables up to 1,000 megawatts of electric power to be delivered via underground or underwater cables at 300 kilovolts (kV).
The threefold increase is made possible by ABB innovations in cable technology and power semiconductors. HVDC Light is environmentally friendly – there is no visual impact, no ground current, no electromagnetic fields – and remains unique to ABB.
