Low-loss transportation of electricity over long distances, optimum integration of renewable energies and maximum reliability - DC cables offer ground-breaking advantages for the energy transition of tomorrow.
The advantages at a glance
- Higher energy efficiency: Lower losses compared to AC cables reduce costs and CO2 emissions.
- No reactive power: No reactive power is required for direct current transmission, which further increases efficiency.
- Greater reliability: DC cables are less susceptible to faults and failures.
- Optimal integration of renewable energies: Direct current is the optimal solution for integrating wind turbines and solar parks into the power grid.
- Stabilization of the electricity grid: balancing out fluctuations and increasing reliability.
- Opening up new markets: Exporting electricity to new markets and creating new jobs.
