ZÜRICH, CH — This new solution should help the world’s energy system to be more sustainable, flexible, and secure, accelerating the transition towards a carbon-neutral future.

Hitachi Energy have recently launched its digital twin¹ solutions for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) and power quality solutions. According to the company, a digital twin is a virtual representation that is designed to accurately reflect a physical asset or system, providing insight into the systems’ performance or lifecycle. This new solution should help the world’s energy system to be more sustainable, flexible, and secure, accelerating the transition towards a carbon-neutral future.

The digital twin of a HVDC converter station, STATCOM or other power quality solution is designed to provide all the relevant asset information, analytics and operational data in an intuitive and easy-to-navigate dashboard, which users can customize to match their needs. It should enable customers to improve the management of power grid assets by clustering all information into one digital location for seamless access by all operational functions.

“This new product is a game-changing digital twin solution built on our unique domain expertise and leadership in power grid technologies and innovation,” said Niklas Persson, Managing Director of Hitachi Energy’s Grid Integration business. “It is a significant addition to Hitachi Energy’s digital offering and supports our customers’ efforts to continuously enhance the efficiency and reliability of their grid investments,” Niklas added.
