More Information
Summary:The new electric transmission system, HVDC Light, utilises state of the art semiconductors, control and cable insulation and can offer many new transmission opportunities as has been demonstrated by actual projects. It offers a lot of possibilities to enhance power systems. Wind power, even large parks, can easily be connected to the grid. In many cases, HVDC Light can give new opportunities to trade electric energy in the new deregulated markets. As HVDC Light has been developed to minimise environmental impact and impact on the connecting grids, the licence procedure is generally more favourable than more traditional solutions. As experience is gained, a number of new applications will be realised, such as feeding islands and far away located communities, as well as city infeed and multiterminal applications.
