Low-loss transport of electricity over long distances, optimum integration of renewable energies and maximum reliability – direct current cables offer pioneering advantages for the energy revolution of tomorrow.
Overview of advantages
- Higher energy efficiency: lower loss compared to alternating current cables reduce costs and CO2 emissions.
- No idle power: no idle power is required for direct current transmission, which further increases efficiency.
- Higher reliability: direct current cables are less susceptible to faults and failures.
- Optimum integration of renewable energies: direct current is the optimum solution for integrating wind turbines and solar parks into the power grid.
- Stabilisation of the power grid: compensation for fluctuations and increase in reliability.
- Developing new markets: exporting electricity to new industries and creating new jobs.
