HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) is a product group within Hitachi Energy, which develops, manufactures, and sells DC transmission systems on the global market. HVDC technology is used to transmit electricity over long distances, and for power transmission via submarine cables. It is also used to connect power systems.
By 2050, the energy need will have increased by 50% compared to today, and HVDC is a prerequisite to meet this demand in a greener, smarter, and more sustainable way.
