Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has acquired Scibreak AB, a Swedish company that develops direct current circuit breakers (DCCBs).

-: FOLLOW US :-  @theinsaneapp

The aim is to work closely on developing DCCB technologies for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems to support the increasing global deployment of renewable energy.

-: FOLLOW US :-  @theinsaneapp

Renewable energy generation, such as wind power, is increasing worldwide to achieve carbon neutrality.

-: FOLLOW US :-  @theinsaneapp

HVDC is used in offshore wind power generation for long-distance transmission between offshore and onshore load centres.

-: FOLLOW US :-  @theinsaneapp

HVDC offers lower power losses and cost when compared to AC transmission.

-: FOLLOW US :-  @theinsaneapp

Multi-terminal HVDC networks are expected to develop in the future, particularly for offshore wind power generation in Europe, allowing for efficient cross-border energy transmission.

-: FOLLOW US :-  @theinsaneapp

These networks will require DCCBs, which will play a critical role in protecting the power system.

-: FOLLOW US :-  @theinsaneapp

HVDC breakers will require very fast operation times, in the order of a few milliseconds.

-: FOLLOW US :-  @theinsaneapp

Scibreak has market leading DCCB technology, in terms of operation time and footprint.

-: FOLLOW US :-  @theinsaneapp

Through the acquisition of shares, Mitsubishi Electric will lead the market commercialisation of DCCBs, strengthening its global HVDC system business and contributing to the realization of carbon neutrality through the further spread of renewable energy.
