Germany HVDC Transmission Market Outlook Trends and Innovations
Germany HVDC Transmission Market
Germany’s HVDC Transmission Market is essential to the nation’s ambitious Energiewende (energy transition) goals. HVDC technology is critical for Germany to connect offshore wind farms in the North Sea to demand centers in the south, thereby supporting the shift towards renewable energy. Germany’s geographic layout and energy demands make HVDC systems ideal for maintaining grid stability and transmitting power with minimal loss. Projects such as the SuedLink and SuedOstLink are central to Germany’s strategy of phasing out coal and nuclear energy.
These HVDC lines are integral for integrating renewable energy sources into the grid, ensuring stable supply, and minimizing carbon emissions. The German government’s commitment to carbon reduction targets, coupled with substantial investments in HVDC infrastructure, is boosting the market. Additionally, advancements in converter technologies and grid interoperability are helping Germany meet its energy transition targets efficiently, driving further growth in the HVDC Transmission Market.
The Global HVDC Transmission Market is estimated to be worth USD 20,990.5 Million by 2032, registering an 8.95% CAGR during the forecast period (2023- 2032).
High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) is applied in long-distance transmission. HVDC power transmission systems utilize DC for electricity transmission. Due to the DC (DC), HVDC systems asynchronously connect power grids therein particular areas which eliminate numerous outage-causing issues.
High voltage DC (HVDC) transmission systems are comparatively less costly for long-distance electricity transmission and produce lower electrical losses. HVDC systems facilitate the transmission of power generated from solar panels and wind plants at long distances.
The designing and developing processes of the HVDC transmission system rely on three components, the converter station at the transmission and receiving ends, the transmission medium, and the electrodes.
HVDC transmission is more affordable for considerable distance power transmission and generates lower electrical misfortunes responsible for the growth of the HVDC transmission market in the coming future. The other factor pushing the growth of the global HVDC Transmission Market is the boosting demand for cable-based transmission as opposed to transmission via overhead lines. Increasing demand for VSC (Voltage Source Converter) based high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) transmission systems that provide total flow control in both directions, stop fault propagation, and lower network losses are estimated to push the market.
