The electricity's long journey from A to B

The electricity's long journey from A to B
New Delhi:

Siemens top innovator Dietmar Retzmann says: When energy sources and consumers are located at distances more than 600 km apart, high voltage direct current HDVC transmission is the most energy efficient and economical solution. Equipped with rapid control capabilities, these links help stabilize the power grid.

Michael Weinhold, head of technology and innovation says: How to use renewable energy sources intelligently - HVDC Plus the next generation of high-voltage direct current transmission systems is an intelligent solution for feeding electricity from renewable energy sources with fluctuating power generation capacities - such as offshore wind farms - into the power grid reliably and efficiently.

Sustainability for densely populated areas: Claus Kern, innovations Manager: Not only do large amounts of energy need to be transported to megacities, but once it arrives there, the energy also has to be distributed safely and efficiently. Low noise and space saving technologies from Siemens meet the needs of people in these metropolitan areas.
