Power transmission and distribution accelerating the energy transition

As we advance the energy transition and increasingly integrate renewable energy sources into our energy mix and connect them to the power grid, it’s therefore important to recognize how stability and reliability of the grid can be affected. Advancements in technology through digitalization, increased resilience against disruptions, and the regulatory landscape that governs our industry need to be considered. The market challenges are the following.

Demand growth: As electricity demand continues to rise due to population growth and increased consumption, it is essential to ensure a reliable power supply that can meet these needs.

Decarbonization: We need to make energy more sustainable by transitioning to lower-carbon and renewable energy sources, helping us to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and contributing to more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy systems.

Decentralization: We need to embrace the system complexity and react to the changing energy needs caused by an increasing usage of distributed energy resources.

Digitalization: By adopting digital solutions into the grid, we enhance efficiency, improve grid management, and enable real-time monitoring and decision-making.

Power transmission equipment includes several key components:

HVDC Systems: High Voltage Direct Current systems are used for efficient long-distance power transmission and integration of renewable energy sources.

Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS): These systems, such as STATCOM and Synchronous Condensers, supply reactive power, inertia, and chort circuit power to AC grids, improving transmission quality and efficiency.

Substations: Manage voltage levels and distribute electrical power. Substations consist of several components, such as transformers, circuit breakers, disconnectors, earthing switches, surge arresters, insulators, capacitors, reactors, measuring transformers, control systems, auxillary systems, etc.

The main industries we serve are transmission system operators, distribution system operators and utilities. Furthermode, our power transmission products and solutions equipe the renewable energy industry, oil and gas industry, as well as data centers, metals, mining, etc.

Today’s energy grids aren’t ready yet for tomorrow’s energy landscape. That’s why we’re increasing grid connectivity, grid resilience, grid digitalization and grid decarbonization of power grids all over the world. We enable transmission grids to cope with growing demands, the shift from traditional fossil-fuel, based energy systems to renewable sources, and increasing system complexity with our products, solutions, digital offerings, and services.
