How Hitachi is Fuelling Sustainable Energy in India

EconiQ™ – Hitachi’s Eco-Efficient
Portfolio
 

EconiQ™ is Hitachi Energy’s eco-efficient portfolio for sustainability encompassing products, services and solutions that reduces environmental impact and increases energy efficiency whilst future-proofing technology investments. Our vast technologically proven portfolio encompasses distinguished technologies that have been developed ensuring health safety, helping significantly reduce carbon footprint throughout the entire lifecycle.

HVDC Systems: Powering Resilient
Infrastructure
 

HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) technology is a key enabler for a carbon-neutral energy system as it is highly efficient for transmitting large amounts of electricity over long distance with complete control. By enabling integration of renewable sources of energy and interconnecting grids, it strengthens power infrastructure, adding to resilience and decarbonisation of the grid.
 

Hitachi Energy offers a complete portfolio of HVDC solutions such as HVDC Light® which can transmit power underground and underwater, HVDC converter stations, and HVDC IdentiQ™ solution that uses digital twin technology for real-time operational insights. With HVDC, Hitachi is empowering the Governments and utilities to deliver high-quality, affordable power supply to millions with a minimal environmental impact.
