6 5 This new network reinforcement technique allows efficient electricity transmission without significant upgrade investment, powering homes at an affordable price. GE will also provide VISOR 2.0 to improve service responsiveness and Data Historian to allow data collection, processing, and storage. 2 ANGLESEY ±27 kVdc to 33 kVac 1 The MVdc link can strengthen the transfer of power and increase renewable power between Anglesey and mainland North Wales. 4 The MVdc link will improve power flow and voltage control and enhance the thermal capability of the circuit. 3 GE's energy transmission technology is already well proven -it has helped to electrify the central European railways. BANGOR 33 kVac to ±27 kVdc These MV7000 converters will convert 33 kVac to ±27 KVdc, using the existing ac lines between the two substations to transfer energy. figure 4.

Many of the new Hvdc links in europe making use of the benefits may/june 2019
