HVDC transmission: leading companies?
Leading companies in HVDC. The global HVDC market is around $10bn per annum in 2021, growing at 7-11% per annum, with the goal of inter-connecting large renewables projects and stabilizing…
HVDC power transmission: the economics?
HVDC costs? This model captures the economics of transporting electricity (especially from renewable sources, such as wind and solar), over vast distances, using high voltage direct current power cables (HVDCs)….
Power transmission: raising electrical potential?
…We outline the reasons on page 12, along with real-world data from world-leading HVDC projects that have been constructed in China since 2010. Economics. We think HVDCs can deliver multi-GW…
Electrical conductivity: energy transition materials?
…resistivity, measured in Ohm-meters, and varying from 10^-30 in super-conducting materials through to 10^20 at the most highly insulating plastics as might feature in HVDC power cables. Most of ‘the…
Power grids: opportunities in the energy transition?
…in HVDCs are here. Offshore cable lay vessels are screened here. We have also screened Prysmian patents here. But the opportunity space is also much broader, which becomes visible by…
Offshore vessels: fuel consumption?
…vessels are also used in offshore wind and more broadly amidst the expansion of power grids and HVDC interconnectors. We think a typical cable lay vesel will consume 150bpd of…
Power grids: transmission and distribution kilometers by country?
…conductors (e.g., an HVDC), three conductors (3-phase AC) or sometimes (rarely) six conductors where the 3-phase AC is disaggregated to promote transmission efficiency. This makes the ‘length’ of a transmission…
Offshore wind: levelized costs?
…wind turbine manufacturing data-file and HVDC cable database. This also tallies with recent offshore wind projects that we have tracked. If anything, actual costs come in higher, due to unforeseen…
FACTS of life: upside for STATCOMs & SVCs?
Wind and solar have so far leaned upon conventional power grids. But larger deployments will increasingly need to produce their own reactive power; controllably, dynamically. Demand for STATCOMs & SVCs…
