Join us at CIGRE 2024: The leading global event for power system expertise!

We’ll be in Paris from the 25th to the 30th of August 2024 for the CIGRE Session 2024 to meet up with our power industry colleagues from around the world and delve into the latest developments, innovations, and challenges in the field! Come and find us at stand no. 265 to hear about the latest innovations that we’re bringing to the table as your innovation partner for DC power grids!

We share CIGRE’s commitment to ‘sustainable electricity for all’ and have been working hard ever since our creation to develop our expertise in direct current power systems to help make this vision a reality.

For this year’s session, we are presenting our solutions and breakthrough technologies to help ensure your transmission & distribution systems’ reliability and resilience.

 

Let’s develop protection technologies together for future DC networks

HyBreak: MVDC Circuit Breaker
Ask us about our HyBreak breaker, which is reliable, produces minimal losses and offers fast breaking for maximum protection of your system.

Superconductive Fault Current Limiter
Discover the benefits of this proven technology which offers a cost-effective, performant and size-efficient solution for protection against fault currents.

Play and talk HVDC grid solutions

Test your knowledge at our HVDC grid quiz sessions at our stand no. 265 throughout the conference!
Once you’ve discovered if you’re an HVDC novice or a power systems champion, feel free to ask us about any of the products and services we’ll be presenting:

  • AC/DC grid planning
  • Multi-vendor HVDC grids
  • New HVDC control & protection equipment
  • Design of HVDC grid components
  • Circuit breaking technologies
  • HVDC cable testing

Hear what our experts have been working on

Join us for 2 presentations where we’ll be presenting the latest advances in two of the European projects we are involved in.
