German Grid Operators Collaborate with Siemens Energy, GE Vernova, and Hitachi Energy to Develop Multi-Terminal DC Hubs

Four German transmission system operators—50Hertz, Amprion, TenneT, and TransnetBW—have forged a partnership with Siemens Energy, GE Vernova, and Hitachi Energy to pioneer the development of multi-terminal hubs equipped with direct current circuit breakers. The initiative aims to interconnect new extra-high voltage direct current (HVDC) connections using DC switchgear and DC circuit breakers as the cornerstone
