As power systems evolve to integrate more renewable energy sources and enable greater cross-border power exchange, the need for flexibility, resilience, and controllability is becoming increasingly important.

Multi-terminal DC (MTDC) extends traditional point-to-point HVDC connections into interconnected DC grids with multiple terminals. This enables power to be routed dynamically to where it is needed most, improving system performance and operational flexibility.

In this video, we explore:

• What MTDC is and how it works
• Why transmission system operators and developers are increasingly interested in MTDC
• The technical and economic benefits of interconnected HVDC grids
• How MTDC can improve asset utilization and reduce infrastructure investments
• Why MTDC is a key enabler for the reliable, resilient, and affordable power systems of the future

To make MTDC a practical reality, enabling technologies are essential. Discover how Hitachi Energy's DC AxoniQ™ portfolio, including DC AxoniQ™ Connect, DC AxoniQ™ Protect, and DC AxoniQ™ Control, helps maintain power flow, enhance system resilience, and limit the impact of disturbances across future DC grids.
