Hitachi Energy revolutionized the transmission of electricity over long distances with minimal losses over 60 years ago by introducing High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology. Today, HVDC can deliver up to 12 gigawatts of power at voltage levels reaching 1,100 kV, covering distances of over 3,000 kilometres. In the heart of HVDC station, the Modular Advanced Control for High performance (MACH™) system plays a vital role in achieving successful results. MACH™ offers unparalleled calculation capacity and facilitates seamless integration and control of all functions related to protection and control. Additionally, MACH™ control provides advanced fault registration and remote-control capabilities. Designed to operate continuously for thirty years or more, the MACH™ system ensures reliable control and protection of the HVDC system throughout its lifespan.
