'HVDC technology contributes significantly towards a carbon-neutral energy future by enabling the integration of large-scale and remote renewable energy generation,' he added. 'Together, with customers and partners, we are playing a key role in accelerating the energy transition,' said Niklas Persson, Managing Director of Hitachi ABB Power Grids' Grid Integration business.

According to an independent life cycle assessment, the implementation of this pioneering technology will reduce the lifetime CO 2 impact by almost two-thirds, compared to previously commissioned installations, supporting the green energy transition and the strong global focus on carbon-neutral energy systems. Now, the latest HVDC Light system provides the most compact design and the lowest energy losses in the power industry. HVDC Light® technology is a key enabler for remote wind farms off the coast of the UK. The Dogger Bank Wind Farm will significantly contribute towards the UK government's goals of sourcing up to 40 GW of offshore wind capacity and cutting emissions by 68% by 2030. *2īy providing its market-leading, compact high-voltage direct-current technology, HVDC Light®, Hitachi ABB Power Grids continues to shape the offshore power landscape, enabling the efficient transmission and dynamic integration of distant offshore wind power to the onshore grid. Eni will take a 20% stake in the first two phases, subject to regulatory and lender approvals of Eni's agreement to enter the joint venture which are due in early 2021. This contract is subject to financial close of the third phase of Dogger Bank Wind Farm, which is currently forecast for late 2021.ĭogger Bank Wind Farm has been developed as a joint venture between SSE Renewables and Equinor (50:50). *1 This new award extends the ongoing delivery of Dogger Bank A and B to include C. The Dogger Bank Wind Farm in the North Sea will have a combined installed generation capacity of 3.6 GW, enough to power six million UK homes. Zurich, FebruHitachi ABB Power Grids has today announced that it has won another major order from Dogger Bank Wind Farm to connect the third transmission link from the world's largest offshore wind farm over 130 km to the UK mainland. Pioneering HVDC Light® technology will enable Dogger Bank Wind Farm to supply 5% of the UK's clean electricity demand, powering six million UK homes Hitachi ABB Power Grids accelerates UK green energy transition with a new contract for the world's largest offshore wind farm
