The global HVDC power supply market is expected to reach USD 4.88 billion by 2022, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. These systems, integrate easily with renewable or alternative energy sources such as photovoltaic, fuel cells, and wind power, and provide considerable avenues for industry growth. The emergence of the hybrid HVDC circuit technology that utilizes Voltage Source Converters (VSC), and is compact in design when compared to traditional design is anticipated to fuel product demand over the next seven years. Further, the HVDC supply industry has also witnessed the development of high power Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT) that has reduced the HVDC system size resulting in substantial economic benefits.
HVDC supply enhance the reliability of an electrical system and is the only possible solution available in the market today; which can be utilized in renewable energy sources. The ability of these products to efficiently transmit bulk power over long distance has significantly contributed to the development of direct-drive wind turbine, which supports the sustainable development of the current energy infrastructure.
