Business Wire
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today
that it has signed an agreement with Siemens Energy Global GmbH
& Co. KG headquartered in Munich, Federal Republic of Germany,
to co-develop Direct Current (DC) Switching Stations and DC Circuit
Breaker requirement specifications. The agreement aims to realize
Multi-terminal High Voltage DC (HVDC) systems to enable efficient
operation of large-scale renewable energy resources. This is the
first concrete initiative by the two companies, part of an ongoing
effort to accelerate the global deployment of Multi-terminal HVDC
systems, follows previous Joint Development Agreement for DC
Switching Stations concluded in January of this year. Under this
latest agreement, Mitsubishi Electric and Siemens Energy aim to
accelerate the deployment of DC Circuit Breaker technology and
thereby contribute to global decarbonization. HVDC systems are
increasingly being used to transmit bulk power over long distances
and for the operation of large-scale renewable energy resources,
such as offshore wind. Multi-terminal HVDC systems, enabled by DC
Switching Station and DC Circuit Breaker technologies, are expected
to help realize more robust and efficient systems.
Both companies will continue to sell, and service their
respective HVDC and DC switching solutions and manufacture related
products independently.
