Naturally. Transforming the power of wind into electricity, integrating it efficiently into the grid and maintaining network reliability are key challenges. They drive the evolution of more flexible and intelligent power systems, aiming to balance unpredictable and intermittent supply with demand. ABB’s HVDC Light® technology plays a central role in enabling long- distance transmission and cross-border grid connections, underground and underwater, to deliver reliable, high-quality power supplies with minimal losses. www.abb.com/hvdc ABB Ltd Tel. +44 (0)1785 825 050 Fax. +44 (0)1785 819 019 E-mail.
