Large-scale expansion of offshore power generation is introducing new challenges in power transmission in terms of reliability and efficiency. Grid complexity increases as interconnections within these power systems are expanding and the cost efficient HVDC technology has become increasingly more important for the long-distance transmission of offshore power to the onshore grid.

The use of HVDC transmission technology offers numerous benefits in long-distance transmission, bulk electricity delivery, transmission costs and the environment. In the era of energy transition, further considerations need to be discussed for long-term expansion planning, new transmission standards, large offshore platforms, multipurpose interconnectors, super grids and other innovative topologies.

We are thrilled to invite you to the 4th HVDC Power Transmission & Technology 2024 Conference, scheduled to take place in the picturesque city of Hamburg on March 4th and 5th, 2024. This conference promises to be an exceptional gathering of experts, professionals, and enthusiasts in the field of HVDC technology and its applications. 

The HVDC Power Transmission & Technology Conference is a leading international event dedicated to advancing the knowledge and innovation in high-voltage direct current technologies. Hosted in the vibrant city of Hamburg, known for its rich maritime heritage and forward-thinking spirit, this conference offers a unique platform for industry leaders, researchers, engineers, and policymakers to come together and discuss the latest developments in the world of HVDC.

TOPICS

Why Is HVDC An Important Topic Today?

  • The HVDC Transmission Market, valued at USD 7.93B in 2019, is projected to reach USD $13.34B by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 7.25% (2020-2027), according to verified Market Research.

  • HVDC transmissions are preferred for long-distance and renewable projects over AC due to advantages like enhanced flexibility and independent power control.

  • The rise in renewable energy, cross-regional electricity trading, and demand for reliable power is coupled with the demonstrated cost-effectiveness of HVDC in enhancing grid connections, supported by actual projects and entso-e's cost-benefit analysis.
