1 HVDC Enabling a stronger, smarter and greener grid Peter Lundberg, Global Product Manager

2 Market challenges addresses by HVDC transmission Environmentally friendly grid expansion Integration of renewable energy Remote hydro Offshore wind Solar power Grid reinforcement For increased trading Share spinning reserves To support intermittent renewable energy

3 Transmission technologies Same power being transmitted A footprint comparison Traditional overhead line with HVAC HVDC overhead line Overhead lines improved with FACTS Underground with HVDC Light cable

4 HVDC or HVAC? Investment costs versus distance Investment costs Total AC cost Total DC cost DC terminal costs AC terminal costs Critical distance Distance

5 What is an HVDC transmission system? Customer s Grid HVDC converter station < MW, Classic Submarine cables Overhead lines Two conductors HVDC converter station < MW, Classic Customer s Grid Customer s Grid HVDC converter station < 3600 MW, Light Land or submarine cables Power / energy direction HVDC converter station < 3600 MW, Light Customer s Grid

6 HVDC technologies What makes HVDC special? Lower investment and lower losses for bulk power transmission Asynchronous interconnections Improved transmission in parallel AC circuits Instant and precise power flow control 3 times more power in a ROW than AC What makes HVDC Light special? Underground cables Easy permits Connection to passive loads Enhancement of connected AC networks Independent control of active and reactive power flow Short delivery times

7 HVDC is a growing technology Applications Connecting remote generation Interconnecting grids Offshore wind connections Power from shore City center infeed DC links in AC grids
