A consortium of Hitachi Energy India and Bharat Heavy
Electricals (BHEL) has won an order from Power Grid Corporation to design and
execute the high voltage direct current (HVDC) link to transmit renewable
energy from Khavda in Gujarat to the industrial center of Nagpur in
Maharashtra.
The ±800 kV, 6,000 MW bi-pole and bi-directional HVDC link
is part of the transmission system to transfer power from the potential
renewable energy zone in the Khavda area of Gujarat under Phase-V (8 GW): Part
A, which was awarded to Power Grid on tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB)
basis. This project crosses 1,200-kilometer (km) and feeds into the country’s
500-gigawatt (GW) renewable evacuation and interstate transmission system. The
scope of the project includes converter transformers, AC/DC control and
protection, gas-insulated high-voltage switchgear, thyristor valves,
765kV/400kV substation and auxiliary systems to be delivered by Hitachi Energy
India along with its consortium partner BHEL, a leading Indian public sector
company.
This project demonstrates Hitachi Energy’s sustained
commitment to ‘Make in India’ efforts. In 2023, Hitachi Energy inaugurated a
new advanced power systems factory in Chennai to support the acceleration of
the energy transition, enabling the company to increase its production
capacity. The new factory serves both the fast-growing Indian market and the
large global demand for clean energy solutions as well as it caters to the
rising number of HVDC projects in India and export to support global HVDC installations.
Hitachi Energy is a global technology leader that is advancing a sustainable energy future for all.
