日立能源 (Hitachi Energy) 与 Pattern Energy 签署了一项多年期协议，为后者在美国的 SunZia 输电项目提供高压直流 (HVDC) 技术支持。

根据协议，日立能源将为目前正在建设的SunZia高压直流输电线路提供服务解决方案。

该输电线路位于新墨西哥州中部和亚利桑那州中南部之间，将把新墨西哥州的 3.5GW SunZia 风电项目连接到亚利桑那州和西部各州。

这条885.14公里的±525kV高压直流输电线路将能够输送3GW的清洁和可再生能源。

完成运营后，SunZia 风电项目将为约 300 万美国人提供电力。

Pattern Energy 卓越运营副总裁 Paul Haberlein 表示：“SunZia 输电和风能项目提供了加速向可再生能源过渡的路线图。

SunZia 将在向西方各州提供清洁和可持续能源方面发挥至关重要的作用。 Pattern 选择全球技术领导者日立能源作为我们的合作伙伴，负责 HVDC 换流站投入运行后的设计、制造和维护。”

日立能源表示，其 HVDC Light 技术将有助于将 SunZia 输电项目的大量风电有效地转移并整合到区域电网中。

一旦输电线路预计于 2025 年投入运营，这将大大提高该地区家庭和企业的可持续能源供应。

日立能源表示，HVDC Light 系统将成为美国最大的电压源换流器（VSC）装置，也是美国最长的 HVDC 连接之一。

日立能源 HVDC 业务全球负责人 Andreas Berthou 表示：“我们很荣幸再次被选中提供我们独特的服务专业知识，以保持重要的 SunZia 链路以最高的效率、性能和可靠性运行。

“通过我们的服务解决方案，我们正在建立一个合作伙伴生态系统，以确保在高压直流输电链路的整个生命周期内持续提供支持，提供以可持续发展和客户价值为核心的尖端数字服务。”

Hitachi Energy has signed a multi-year agreement with Pattern Energy to support high-voltage direct current (HVDC) technologies for the latter’s SunZia transmission project in the US.

Under the agreement, Hitachi Energy will offer service solutions for the SunZia transmission HVDC link which is presently under construction.

Located between central New Mexico and south-central Arizona, the transmission link will connect the 3.5GW SunZia wind project in New Mexico to Arizona and Western states.

The 885.14km, ±525kV HVDC transmission line will have the capacity to transport 3GW of clean and renewable energy.

Upon achieving complete operations, the SunZia wind project will deliver power to around three million Americans.

Pattern Energy operational excellence vice president Paul Haberlein said: “The SunZia transmission and Wind projects provide a roadmap to accelerate the transition to renewable energy.

“SunZia will play a vital role in delivering clean and sustainable energy to Western states. Pattern selected Hitachi Energy, a global technology leader, as our partner to engineer, manufacture and maintain the HVDC converter stations after they enter operation.”

Hitachi Energy said that its HVDC Light technology will help transfer and integrate huge volumes of wind power efficiently from the SunZia transmission project into the regional power grid.

This will considerably boost the availability of sustainable energy for households and businesses across the region once the transmission link enters operation, which is slated to be in 2025.

Hitachi Energy said that the HVDC Light system will be the largest voltage source converter (VSC) installation in the US and one of the longest HVDC connections in the country.

Hitachi Energy HVDC business global head Andreas Berthou said: “We’re proud to be selected once again to provide our unique service expertise to keep the important SunZia link operating at maximum efficiency, performance, and reliability.

“With our service solutions, we are building a partnership ecosystem to ensure continued support to the HVDC link throughout its lifetime, delivering cutting edge digital service with sustainability and customer-value at its core.”
