ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, Dec 10, 2020 - (JCN Newswire) - Hitachi ABB Power Grids today announced the energization of the NordLink project, a 623-km long high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electricity interconnection that for the first time links German and Norwegian power markets.
NordLink is the world s first HVDC Light bi-pole installation to perform at a record level of 525-kilovolt (kV) and 1,400 megawatt (MW), nearly doubling the power transmission capacity compared with earlier systems and improving overall reliability and availability in the grid. The increased integration of renewables from both countries, in combination with the usage of pioneering technology, supports the green energy transition.
