Siemens to Build HVDC Link for Efficient Power Transmission Between Ethiopia and Kenya

摘要

In a consortium with the construction company Isolux Corsan, Siemens is constructing a high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) transmission link between Ethiopia and Kenya. The roughly 1,000 km (621 mile) DC transmission line, known as the Ethiopia-Kenya Power Systems Interconnection Project, will transmit hydroelectricity from Ethiopia to Kenya. Furthermore, the HVDC link will improve the exchange of energy between the two countries and optimize the use of distributed energy sources in this region.
