Mitsubishi Electric Acquires DC Circuit Breaker Developer Scibreak
Aiming to supply advanced circuit breakers for high-voltage DC power transmission
Purpose of Acquisition
The introduction of renewable energy generation, such as wind power, is increasing worldwide to achieve carbon neutrality. Particularly in offshore wind power generation, HVDC is used for long-distance transmission between offshore and onshore load centres, as it offers lower power losses and cost when compared to AC transmission. In the future, multi-terminal HVDC networks are expected to develop, particularly for offshore wind power generation in
HVDC breakers will require very fast operation times, in the order of a few milliseconds, and companies are stepping up technological development in response to the need for more compact, high-performance, and cost effective DCCBs.
Scibreak has market leading DCCB technology, in terms of operation time and footprint. Through the acquisition of shares,
