Global HVDC Overhead Transmission System Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

HVDC stands for High Voltage Direct Current Transmission. It refers to the massive transmission of electricity in the form of DC over long distances by means of submarine cables or overhead transmission lines. This report only studies HVDC Transmission System by means of overhead transmission lines. The HVDC transmission system provides efficient and economic transmission of power even to very long distances that meet the requirements of growing load demands. Due to its simple constructional feature and less complexity, research, and development authority discovered its usage in modern power transmission. This method of transmitting electricity over long distances is preferred over HVAC as HVDC lines are less expensive and losses are also less as compared to HVAC transmission. HVDC is also popularly known as Electrical Super Highway or Power Super Highway.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global HVDC Overhead Transmission System market finds that the global HVDC Overhead Transmission System market reached a value of USD 7801.14 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 14478.96 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.86% during the forecast period.

Overhead lines rely on the air gap between the conductors and the ground as electrical insulation and to provide cooling for the conductors. Conductors are suspended from towers by insulators made of either ceramics or polymers, although polymer insulators are generally used for HVDC applications because of their improved pollution performance. HVDC overhead lines can be used up to 800kV and are capable of transporting more than 6GW on a single bipole route.

The price of an HVDC overhead transmission system depends on several variables, including the amount of power to be carried, the kind of transmission medium (land-based or underwater), environmental concerns, access to easements and the price of converter stations and related equipment. The system requires additional pieces of hardware, such as a converter transformer, pole & valve controls, mechanical & electrical auxiliaries and many others. All of this equipment is quite expensive and of the highest technology. HVDC transmission systems have substantial installation and maintenance costs because of their design.
