Denmark, Revsing: Hitachi Energy will supply eco-efficient EconiQ™ gas-insulated lines (GIL) to Energinet to extend its substation in Revsing, Denmark.
The substation is a vital connection point to a significant HVDC link, a 765-km interconnection that allows the exchange of electricity between Great Britain and Denmark.
Denmark is a pioneer in sustainable energy initiatives and has the goal of becoming carbon-neutral by 2050. In order to meet this target, Energinet, the Danish national grid operator, has been continuously expanding and upgrading the country’s electricity transmission network and is one of the frontrunners in integrating wind energy into its grid. Hitachi Energy and Energinet have been collaborating since the successful installation of 420-kV compact gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) for Revsing substation in 2013.
The extension will expand the existing 420 kV GIS substation with the installation of EconiQ GIL that contain no sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).
“This project is testament to our longstanding partnership with Energinet and we are proud to collaborate once again in another innovation to advance toward a sustainable, flexible and secure energy system,” said Markus Heimbach, Managing Director, High Voltage Products at Hitachi Energy. “Our reliable EconiQ high-voltage technology eliminates SF6 with scalable solutions for the lowest carbon footprint”.
In addition to the EconiQ solution, Hitachi Energy will also deliver its highly reliable 420 kV GIS, a technology pioneered by the company, which can be installed in confined spaces and can operate in extreme environmental conditions.
