We are convinced that HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) technology, solutions for energy transfer with direct current at high voltages, is a long-term sustainable solution. The technology is used for energy transmission over long distances and to connect electricity networks with minimal losses. In addition to energy transfer, HVDC technology also alleviates electricity quality problems and can contribute to the stabilization of connected power grids. For offshore wind power or long-distance underwater transmissions, direct current is the only realistic energy transmission alternative.
Hitachi Energy is a global technology leader energy sector, employing around 40,000 people in 90 countries. This position is intended with placement at Ludvika high voltage center. The site has the combined capability to cover all aspects of our grid connected products, components, and related services.
