The Electrical Valve Design department is a part of Hitachi Energy HVDC Products in Ludvika. We as a department are globally responsible for electrical design and requirements of HVDC and SVC valves. HVDC valves are used to convert AC to DC, and vice versa. SVC valves are used in SVC systems, in order to support and stabilize AC systems. Electrical valves are the heart of a HVDC and SVC transmission system.
The Electrical Valve Design department in Sweden consists of 20 employees including the manager. We also have electrical design departments in India and China, who we work in close collaboration with. Our department is not only responsible for tenders and project deliveries but also for productification of new valve solutions, life cycle management and provide technical support in upgrades & service projects.
Power capacitors are widely used and are becoming essential components in modern HVDC and SVC systems. Their main function is to provide temporary energy storage to allow for more controllability and widen the application range of these systems. These power capacitors today are externally sourced; therefore, electrical valve design department will continually need to increase knowledge of design, manufacturing and testing of these essential components to be able to specify the correct requirements towards our suppliers. This is of essence to ensure that we can stay on top of the continuous developments in demands from our customers on lower costs but at the same time have highly reliable and performant HVDC and SVC systems.
