Connecting Renewable Generation

Challenge

Bring power from remote renewable sources to load centres

GE’s solution

GE’s HVDC LCC and VSC are amongst the most economical and feasible

solutions for connecting renewable generation applications, such as wind,

hydro and solar power. GE’s solution gives full control and flexibility in

managing the power flow from the intermittent and variable generation to

the load.

Benefits include

• Provides a low loss solution, with the most efficient method of

transmission technology

• Enables the controllability of intermittent power

• Improves environment impact as a result of the smaller towers and right

of way requirements

• Increasing power capabilities up to 3 times more than AC circuits
