GE Supports Power Grids of the Future with Europe’s First MVDC Link

Wind Industry Profile of

UK’s Angle-DC Project Aims to Strengthen the Transfer of Increasing Renewable Power between Anglesey and Mainland North Wales / GE will Provide AC-to-DC Converters for the MVDC Link / MVDC Offers Additional Benefits to Traditional Reinforcement, such as; Control of the Power Flow Direction and Reactive Power, Voltage Support and Minimizing Network Losses

GE Energy Connections will deliver Europe’s first Medium-voltage direct current (MVDC) link as part of Scottish Power Energy Network’s Angle-DC project in Anglesey and North Wales. The technology will be a critical asset of the project. The Angle-DC project aims to demonstrate a novel network reinforcement technique by converting an existing 33-kilovolt (kV) AC circuit to DC operation. As the electricity... ...
