ABB HVDC Light Converter Transformer

HVDC Light is a state-of-the-art power system designed to transmit power underground and under water, also over long distances. It offers numerous environmental benefits, including “invisible” power lines, neutral electromagnetic fields, oil-free cables and compact converter stations.

HVDC Light increases the reliability of power grids, and the technology extends the economical power range of HVDC transmission down to just a few tens of Megawatts (MW). In the upper range, the technology now reaches 1,200 MW and +-500 kV.

It is quick to install and provides an alternative to conventional AC transmission systems and local generation.
