ABB - the pace-setter in HVDC research and development.
ABB's market leadership in HVDC is to a substantial part due to the company's research and development which has resulted in efficient and reliable systems and equipment. During the last years we have developed and put into service systems such as
HVDC Light and
HVDC CCC that are unique in the industry.
One of the major efforts for classic HVDC today is the development of Ultra High Voltage DC Systems (± 800 kV) to transport more power over longer distances.
We invite you to take a look at the timeline for major HVDC developments and achievements in ABB!
