Hitachi ABB Power Grids offers reliable and energy efficient disconnectors from 72.5 kV to 550 kV to meet customer requirements. The world-class quality of disconnectors is ensured through comprehensive electrical and mechanical routine tests on the poles and operating mechanism of each disconnector.

Hitachi ABB Power Grids’ battery energy storage technology is used in Porto Santo, to support the integration of renewable energy into the island grid.

Hitachi ABB Power Grids is the leader in design and manufacturing of GCBs since 1954 with more than 8,000 deliveries in over 100 countries. GCBs are critical components in all types of power plants, protecting key electrical equipment like generators and power transformers.

Hitachi ABB Power Grids offers a comprehensive range of high-voltage switchgear and breakers up to 1200 kilovolts AC and 1100 kilovolts DC that help enhance the safety, reliability and efficiency of power networks while minimizing environmental impact. Our technology leadership continues to facilitate developments in areas such as ultra-high-voltage power transmission, enabling smart grids and enhancing eco-efficiency.

Instrument transformers will transmit the signal to the metering and protective relaying instrumentation, with the purpose of protection of important equipment. Instrument transformers will operate successfully under many atmospheric conditions and transients, and switching over voltages.

Hitachi Energy is a global leader in manufacturing high-power semiconductors for demanding applications. These products are key components for power electronics technologies, which enable for example, improved energy efficiency or the integration of renewable energy into the electricity grid. The semiconductors product unit has set up a new department to further develop and implement digital solutions. The strategy involves mapping the value creation process in the factory completely digitally and further optimize it by connecting the production equipment and the intelligent use of data. The team has been awarded for the fully connected backend production of semiconductor modules with the help of digital solutions. In this way, Hitachi Energy, semiconductors increases productivity, improves quality and flexibility, and reduces delivery times.

Key products in high voltage products that enable digitalization are:

• Switchgear and circuit-breakers for digital substation
• Monitoring for circuit-breaker, generator circuit-breaker, surge arresters
• Point-on-wave and power factor controller
• Power quality battery energy storage and power quality active filters
• Non-conventional instrument transformers for switchgear
• Connected software with asset health and power quality management
• Augmented reality for circuit-breaker, remote site-support and connected to collaboration center

The competitive energy market requires innovative and reliable solutions for effective integration of power from conventional and renewable generation plants, and efficient transmission and distribution to residential, commercial and industrial consumers.

Hitachi ABB Power Grids recently launched Grid-eMotion™ Fleet, a full ‘grid-to-plug’ EV charging system for large-scale public transport and commercial fleets, enabling operators to charge more with less.

Hitachi ABB Power Grids offers distribution and power transformers, dry-type and liquid-filled transformers as well as services, to be used in utility, industrial and commercial applications. Our portfolio allows utilities and industrials to maximize the return on transformer assets by ensuring a high reliability, reducing life cycle costs and ensuring optimized performance while lowering environmental impact.

Integrating and strengthening of port grids. Ports, playing a critical role in national and regional economies, are increasingly turning to new technologies in order to maximize return on investments, efficiently deliver capacity and become environmentally sustainable by reducing emissions.
