Grid connectivity

Power grids aren't ready yet for tomorrow's energy landscape. Aging infrastructure, increasing energy demand, and the need to optimize grid utilization, along with the integration of renewables, require modernization and expansion of power grids worldwide.

With our broad portfolio of innovative transmission products, systems, solutions, and services, we support customers on their energy transition journeys and make sure to bring power from where it is generated to where it is needed.

To reach climate neutrality by 2050, more renewable energy sources need to be integrated into the power grid. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), 3.000 GW of renewable power projects are waiting to be connected. In total, the grid is estimated to double in size by 2040 (IEA), resulting in an increasing demand in corresponding grid technologies.

We enable the transmission of renewable power, reducing dependance on fossil fuels and promoting a clean energy mix. Our innovative solutions, including offshore grid connections and high-voltage direct current systems, facilitate the seamless integration of renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind farms and solar power plants, into the electrical grid.

Infrastructure facilities, industry, and private households around the world require more and more electrical energy. As electricity demand continues to rise, it is essential to ensure a reliable power supply that can meet these needs.

Our high-voltage substations solutions, including our product offerings, such as transformers, gas-insulated switchgear, circuit breakers, surge arresters and disconnectors and earthing switches, serve as critical node points within today’s intricate power transmission infrastructure, playing a vital role in safely and reliably meeting this demand.

We help to bring reliable energy to remote and underserved areas, thus facilitating energy access and electrification.

Our pre-assembled micro substation offers a one-step transition from high voltage to low voltage, enabling fast deployment and versatile applications. And with a comprehensive range of products and solutions, we ensure that industries and data centers can quickly adapt to changing needs and remain at the forefront of technological advancements.

High-voltage direct current (HVDC)

HVDC is ideal for bridging the distances between large-scale renewable power generating installations such as offshore wind farms and the load centers they serve. In a multi-terminal configuration, the collecting of renewable power can be combined with pan-continental integration of power transmission systems, such as for interconnecting multiple regional or national AC grids.

Offshore grid connections

Integrating renewable energy sources is key to meeting society’s energy needs while fighting climate change. Yet, these contributions to more carbon-neutral energy take place in remote areas often hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away from the centers of consumption. We provide reliable and efficient transmission systems to connect remote renewable energy sources to the grid.
