5 VSC technology break through More than one qualified supplier 3,5% 3,0% 2,5% 2,0% 1,5% Losses Gen. 1 Gen. 2 Capacity HVDC Light Gen MW Losses in the level of classic Only solution for offshore Asymmetric solution opens up for >500 kv solutions and >2,000 MW for bipoles 1,0% 0,5% HVDC Classic Gen. Gen VSC properties valued Net stability 0,0% Black-start capability Compactness DC grid enabled Slide 5 PowDoc id

6 ABB, HVDC Light Experience 17 HVDC Light projects in total, since 1999 We have delivered more than km HVDC Light Cables Whereof 10 are in full operation, with more than 63 years of operation All HVDC Light projects delivered on time, according to contract 10 of the projects are full Turn Key HVDC Light Systems, including all cables Three of the projects are 100% land cable projects Advanced applications; gas platforms, wind park platforms and VSC OH-line Slide 6 PowDoc id

7 HVDC Light Technical development 2500 MW kv Hällsjön 3 MW ± 10 kv Slide ABB 7 Group September 08MR , 2013 Slide 7 Gotland 50 MW ± 80 kv Cross Sound 330 MW ± 150 kv Estlink 350 MW ± 150 kv BorWin1 400 MW ± 150 kv Caprivi 300 MW kv East-West Interconnector 500 MW ± 200 kv Dolwin MW ± 320 kv Skagerrak MW 500 kv

8 HVDC Light applications Market and technology trends - renewables Offshore wind Hydro Europe needs a new transmission network due to: Landing-point for offshore wind and solar power will be at the out-skirts of the Grid Close down of the German nuclear power Increased energy trading Solar The transmission grid must be re-designed to meet the new needs: Long distance bulk power Low losses Minimum environmental impact Slide ABB 8 Group September PowDoc id 13, 2013 Slide 8

9 HVDC Light applications Market and technology trends - European HVDC Grid Slide ABB 9 Group September PowDoc id 13, 2013 Slide 9

10 What is a HVDC grid? A HVDC grid that can operate: Independent of one or several disturbances (isolate a failure) In different operation modes in the connected AC- & DC-systems Technology gaps for the full realization includes: DC breaker Power flow control Automatic network restoration High voltage DC/DC converters Global rules/regulations for operation required for market acceptance September 13, 2013 Slide 10

11 HVDC Grids Why? Regional to continental HVDC Grids Why HVDC Grids vs HVDC single links or AC Only relevant offshore solution Loss reduction Increased power capacity vs. AC Less visual impact Offshore wind Hydro Why now: Offshore wind, remote solar, grid constraints HVDC Light systems and components mature Solar Challenges: HVDC Breakers & DC/DC Converters Regulatory framework September 13, 2013 Slide 11
