Introduction On November 17, 2014, the news that the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) added the Pacific Bluefin tuna (PBF) to its Red List of Threatened Species as “Vulnerable,” which meant that it was threatened with extinction, made headlines and received substantial TV coverage around Japan. After citing the IUCN’s comment that the species was extensively targeted by the fishing industry for the predominant sushi and sashimi markets in Asia, Mainichi Shimbun, one of the major newspapers in Japan, reported that the population was estimated to have declined by 19 to 33% over the past 22 years1. Nihon Keizai Shimbun, a leading Japanese economic newspaper, referring to the fact that the American eel was also added to the List as “Endangered,” pointed out that

  • Completion of Chubu Electric Power Grid Hida Converter Station Equipped with Hitachi's Frequency Converters
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Completion of Chubu Electric Power Grid Hida Converter Station Equipped with Hitachi's Frequency Converters Contributing to a stable supply of electricity by enabling efficient interconnection between Tokyo and Chubu regions with HVDC Technology Hida Converter Station of Chubu Electric A valve hall equipped with a line commutate Power Grid Co., Inc. converter HVDC (AC/DC converter) Tokyo, April 1, 2021 --- Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501, "Hitachi") today announced that the operations of the Hida-Shinano frequency conversion facility have commenced, enabling the Shin-Shinano Substation of TEPCO Power Grid, Inc. ("TEPCO") to be connected to the Hida Converter Station of Chubu Electric Power Grid Co., Inc. ("Chubu Electric Power"), to which Hitachi delivered a line commutate converter high- voltage direct current ("HVDC") system. The Hida-Shinano frequency conversion facility is a direct current transmission system with an interconnection capacity of 900MW, connecting the 60 Hz-based Chubu Electric Power area and the 50 Hz-based TEPCO area via an approximately 89 km long aerial cable. In the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred on March 11, 2011, the new facility was purpose-built to increase the interconnection capacity between the different areas and enhance the power supply capacity in the event of a large disaster. In this project, Hitachi received an order for a frequency converter to be installed at Chubu Electric Power's Hida Converter Station that included installation and testing. The equipment uses the line commutate converter High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) power transmission technology to achieve the interconnection of systems with different frequencies through the conversion of alternating current into direct current.
