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

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
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
