Hitachi Energy India to Power Rajasthan with Advanced HVDC Technology

Hitachi Energy India Ltd has been selected to implement High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology for a major renewable energy project in Rajasthan. The project, undertaken in collaboration with Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL), involves the design, construction, and commissioning of a ±800kV HVDC transmission link. This state-of-the-art system will transmit renewable energy from Bhadla III in Rajasthan to Fatehpur in Uttar Pradesh, ensuring efficient and reliable power transfer over long distances.

The project includes the establishment of two HVDC Line-Commutated Converter (LCC) terminals, each with a capacity of 6,000 MW, along with associated AC substations. Scheduled for completion by 2030, this initiative is part of India's broader efforts to enhance its renewable energy infrastructure and reduce carbon emissions. The collaboration between Hitachi Energy India and BHEL underscores their expertise in delivering cutting-edge solutions for the power sector.
