Yokogawa Joins Friends Of The Supergrid

A supergrid is a large-scale electricity transmission system that utilises a high-voltage DC (HVDC)

infrastructure to link renewable energy sources in remote locations with cities and other centres of consumption.

FOSG has identified seven innovation trajectories required to deliver the supergrids in Europe. These call for the development of bigger wind turbines, HVDC transmission cables, supernodes, next-generation civil engineering, bigger construction vessels, bigger ports, and better information and communication technology (ICT).

It is within the last category of ICT development that Yokogawa will contribute its expertise.
