Description
HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) transmission refers to a technology that enables the efficient transmission of electricity over long distances using direct current (DC) rather than alternating current (AC). HVDC systems convert AC power to DC power at the sending end, transmit it over long distances with minimal losses, and then convert it back to AC power at the receiving end for distribution.
The global HVDC transmission market is expected to increase by USD 6.0 billion, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.81% from 2023 to 2029, according to the latest edition of the Global HVDC Transmission Market Report. HVDC transmission is particularly advantageous for transmitting electricity over long distances. Compared to AC transmission, HVDC systems experience lower transmission losses, making them more efficient for transmitting power over hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. This is especially beneficial for connecting remote renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind farms, to the main power grid. The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, into the power grid has created a need for efficient transmission solutions. HVDC transmission allows for the integration of renewable energy sources located far from population centers, where the demand for electricity is high. It enables the transmission of large amounts of renewable energy over long distances, reducing curtailment and maximizing the utilization of clean energy resources.
