Clean hydropower can then feed the mainland grid when it is needed most, acting as a large battery for the nation. Moreover, it strengthens the security of supply in the Australian power grid in which electricity is increasingly generated from sustainable energy.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Hitachi Energy will supply its HVDC Light\u00ae voltage source converter (VSC) stations in the first stage of the project, which will convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) for efficient, long-distance transmission and DC to AC, where the electricity is returned to the grid.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cAs Australia is rapidly transforming its grid to support the integration of more clean energy sources, we are proud of our HVDC technology that will help transmit large amounts of electricity with higher stability and lower electrical losses,\u201d said Niklas Persson, Managing Director at Hitachi Energy\u2019s Grid Integration business. \u201cInterconnectors like Marinus Link give customers access to affordable, on-demand renewable energy supply and increase storage capabilities.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Upon completion of both project stages, Marinus Link will have a total capacity of 1,500 megawatts (MW), equal to the power needed for 1.5 million Australian homes. In line with Australia\u2019s Net Zero ambitions, as coal-fueled generation is retired, this link will result in saving up to 140 million tons of CO2 equivalent emissions by 2050, equal to taking approximately 1 million cars off the road.1\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Australia has committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050 and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 43 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. The lowest-cost pathway for secure and reliable electricity is from renewable energy, connected by efficient transmission systems, supported by storage and pumped hydro.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Marinus Link is a project of national significance that will play a fundamental role in the two states\u2019 energy ecosystem in which power infrastructure requires a major overhaul to satisfy the growing electrical demands and guarantee a constant and reliable power flow through Australia\u2019s transition to renewable energy\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cToday, we have taken another firm step towards project execution. With our essential HVDC systems secured, Marinus Link is poised for delivery by the end of the decade. Marinus Link is a cornerstone project of the Australian Government\u2019s Rewiring the Nation Plan and is classified as urgent in the Australian Energy Market Operator\u2019s national energy plan,\u201d said Caroline Wykamp, CEO of Marinus Link Pty Ltd. \u201cThe Australian, Tasmanian and Victorian governments recently entered an historic agreement for joint ownership of Marinus Link, securing it as a critical transmission project for Australia.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Hitachi Energy pioneered commercial HVDC technology 70 years ago and has delivered more than half of the world\u2019s HVDC projects. Today, the company has the largest installed base of HVDC in the world.\u00a0 <em>News Credit: Newswire &amp; Hitachi Energy<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"natio-after-content\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\" id=\"natio-2565636040\"><style>\r\n.ad {\r\n  display: block;\r\n  margin: 0 auto 12px;\r\n  width: 100%;\r\n  max-width: 640px;\r\n  border: 1px solid;\r\n} .ad-label {\r\n  display: block;\r\n  font-size: 11px;\r\n  font-weight: 700;\r\n  margin: 0 0 8px 0;\r\n  text-align: center;\r\n  letter-spacing: 2px;\r\n  opacity: 0.5;\r\n}\r\n<\/style>\r\n<!-- <span class=\"ad-label\">ADVERTISEMENTS<\/span> -->\r\n<!-- <img class=\"ad\" src=\"\" alt=\"Ad\" \/> -->\r\n<!-- <img class=\"ad\" src=\"\" alt=\"Ad\" \/> -->\r\n\r\n<!-- [masterslider id=\"4\"]  SliderAds --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Australia-first using advanced HVDC technology to stabilize an increasingly renewable grid &#8212; A transmission project of national significance to play a key role in Australia\u2019s energy transition to power 1.5 million homes &#8212; Hitachi Energy\u2019s two-way power transmission technology will unlock Tasmania\u2019s world-class wind and hydro storage resources to deliver affordable and reliable clean &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8264,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,16],"tags":[1669],"class_list":["post-8263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-news","category-world-news","tag-hitachi-energy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nationalvani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nationalvani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nationalvani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nationalvani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nationalvani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8263"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nationalvani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8263\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8265,"href":"https:\/\/nationalvani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8263\/revisions\/8265"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nationalvani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8264"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nationalvani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nationalvani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nationalvani.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
