View HVDC converter stations from space

We have provided links to Google Earth from some of ABB´s HVDC reference projects.

If you have the Google Earth software on your computer we invite you to click on the Google Earth links! We have limited to only those converter stations where Google Earth provides a good resolution.

Fasten your seat belts and take off!
