A pioneer technology leader, ABB has received an order from New Zealand's grid company Transpower New Zealand to upgrade its high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line, which interconnects
transmission networks in the North and South Islands.
It is reported that this high-voltage direct current transmission line connecting New Zealand's North Island and South Island is an important component of the country's power grid system and a power balance system
between South Africa.
ABB's Ability MCH control system, as the brain or nerve center of the link, will be a key component of
the upgrade.
According to reports, New Zealand's North Island has a population more than three times that of the South Island and provides a large amount of hydroelectric power
in addition to picturesque landscapes.
As a result, the North Island has a much increased demand for electricity and is dependent on the South Island's electricity supply
.
More than 600 km of north-south HVDC transmission interconnection lines can efficiently transmit clean power
in high-demand areas.
The line also plays an important role
in New Zealand's electricity market by allowing electricity trading between the two islands.
ABB has a historic involvement
in this project.
The first New Zealand HVDC transmission system was built by ABB (formerly ASEA) in 1965, which was one of the first HVDC transmission systems in the
world at that time.
It started as a bipolar 600 megawatt (MW) link with a mercury arc valve until 1992 when the original equipment was paralleled on a single pole, and ABB commissioned a new thyristor pole with it, increasing the capacity to 1040 MW
.
It is reported that the upgrade includes a valve 2 upgrade
based on the electrode, optical fiber and valve control unit of the latest ABB Ability MCH control system.
The upgrade, which will be completed in 2020, will be implemented in a way that will minimize the impact
on the grid and the power trading market.
"This upgrade will improve grid reliability and availability, thereby improving power security and bringing clean energy
to consumers.
" Claudio Facchin, President of ABB's Power Grids Division, said, "This project reaffirms our strategic focus on services and commitment to renewable energy integration, as well as the role of digital technologies based on ABB's capability technologies, and strengthens our leadership in HVDC technology as the partner
of choice for a stronger, smarter and greener grid.
" ”
ABB pioneered HVDC technology 60 years ago and has acquired approximately 120 HVDC projects with a total installed capacity of more than 130,000 MW, accounting for about half
of the global installed base.
