An HVDC converter converts electric power from high voltage alternating current (AC) to high-voltage direct current (HVDC), or vice versa. HVDC is used as an alternative to AC for transmitting electrical energy over long distances or between AC power systems of different frequencies. HVDC converters capable of converting up to two gigawatts (GW) and with voltage ratings of up to 900 kilovolts (kV) have been built, and even higher ratings are technically feasible. A complete converter station may contain several such converters in series and/or parallel to achieve total system DC voltage ratings of up to 1,100 kV.
MARKET DYNAMICS
High voltage direct current (HVDC) technology is one of the catalysts driving the transformation of the electricity market. The increasing cross border power transmission activities are expected to pave a way for the development of HVDC systems, which, in turn, is likely to drive the HVDC converter station market. Also, growth in the renewable energy sector is also expected to drive the market during the forecast period as there is a significant rise in renewable energy generation capacity (onshore and offshore), supported by the government's objectives. However, the implementation of the distributed and off-grid power systems is reducing the demand for HVDC transmission lines. Therefore, the growing demand for these power plants is expected to restrain the market during the forecast period.
