High-voltage direct current

Mytilineos and GE Vernova on Tuesday announced that they have been awarded a 1-billion UK pound (1.16 billion euros) contract by National Grid Electricity Transmission and SP Transmission, part of SP Energy Networks for the United Kingdom's first high-capacity east coast subsea link.

Turkish technology firm Anova has developed an indigenous AC/DC converter for helicopters' weapon systems. 

There are currently supply problems for these products on a global scale, İbrahim Altunsoy, an electronic design manager at the company, told Anadolu Agency.

An historic framework agreement was signed in Cairo on Wednesday for the construction and commissioning of the EuroAfrica Interconnector which will interconnect the electricity networks of Egypt and Cyprus by the project promoter, EuroAfrica Interconnector Limited.

Greek companies are de facto excluded from the project for the power interconnection of Crete and Attica, according to the technical standards required by the tenders for the high-voltage direct current (HDVC) converter stations and cables.
