ABB launches world´s most powerful underground and subsea power transmission cable system 525 kV voltage sets world record for extruded HVDC cable technology, doubling power flow and extending range to enable greater integration of distant renewables and interconnections
This latest innovation will more than double the power capacity to about 2,600 megawatts (MW) from 1,000 MW. It will also expand the cable's reach to distances of 1,500 kilometers, up from less than 1,000 kilometers, while keeping transmission losses under 5 percent.
The new cable offers a 64 percent increase over
320 kV, currently the highest voltage deployed for this type of
technology. The 525kV cable system can be deployed in subsea and
underground applications, making it ideal for efficient power delivery
through densely populated or environmentally sensitive areas or coastal
and open-sea applications.
