The 500kV Skagerrak 4 link reinforces the grids run by Norwegian transmission system operator Statnett and Denmark's Energinet.dk and helps balance loads between the former's hydropower system and the latter's wind- and thermal-based generation.
"ABB pioneered the HVDC technology and continues innovating, as it is uniquely positioned in the industry with in-house manufacturing for all key HVDC components, including power semiconductors, converters, converter transformers and high-voltage cables," says Claudio Facchin, head of ABB's Power Systems division.
