Zurich, SWITZERLAND - These solutions comprise a comprehensive range of air-insulated and gas-insulated grid connections that cover the most frequently used grid voltages worldwide
Hitachi Energy has announced the launch of its Grid-eXpand™ range of modular and prefabricated grid connection solutions that make it faster, simpler and more efficient to expand power grid capacity and accelerate the transition to a more sustainable energy system.
According to Hitachi Energy, these solutions comprise a comprehensive range of air-insulated and gas-insulated grid connections that cover the most frequently used grid voltages worldwide. They are engineered, assembled and factory-tested by Hitachi Energy before delivery, ready for speedy and easy energization on-site while reducing site-based construction risks.
According to the company, using these solutions, site installation is up to 40 percent faster, the footprint up to 60 percent smaller and civil work up to 70 percent lower in costs than for conventionally built grid connections.
“To help our customers respond to the urgency of the energy transition, we are continuously developing new technologies that strengthen power grids and expand the energy system for a carbon-neutral future,” said Niklas Persson, Managing Director of Hitachi Energy’s Grid Integration business.
