en.Wedoany.com Reported - Hitachi Energy and Adani Energy Solutions Limited have successfully commissioned a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line in Mumbai, India, which increases Mumbai's external power supply by 50%.

This HVDC transmission line can directly inject up to 1,000 megawatts of electricity into Mumbai, enhancing the stability of energy supply and grid resilience for the metropolis of over 20 million residents. The Kudus-Aare link optimizes Mumbai's transmission network structure by bringing in more power from outside the city.

The project utilizes Hitachi Energy's Voltage Source Converter (VSC) technology to achieve precise and rapid control of power flow, improving voltage stability and overall grid reliability. The upgrade of the Aare converter station is a key grid modernization initiative for Mumbai in nearly 25 years, expanding its capacity from 250 MW to 1,000 MW.

The compact design of the converter station, combined with overhead lines and underground HVDC cables, saves approximately 2 square kilometers of urban space.

The system draws power via the Kudus grid connection, sourcing from various regions within Maharashtra and renewable energy-rich areas in the Indian national grid.

This project efficiently transmits power within limited urban space while reducing congestion, noise, and environmental impact, providing a reference for other rapidly developing cities in India and beyond that face growing energy demand and infrastructure challenges.
