Yokogawa Joins Friends Of The Supergrid
15 January 2013
Yokogawa has joined Friends of the Supergrid (FOSG), a group of companies and organisations with a mutual interest in promoting and influencing policy and establishing a regulatory framework to enable the large-scale interconnection of renewable energy systems in Europe.
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.
