STAVANGER, Norway—Equinor and Hitachi Energy are forming a collaboration to pursue electrification, renewable power generation and low-carbon initiatives worldwide.
Hitachi Energy has provided Equinor with power grid solutions and technologies for various projects in the North Sea, such as Dogger Bank A, B and C in the UK sector and Troll A offshore Norway, which is said to be the world's first high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power-from-shore connection.
Initial areas of focus will include developing standardized base designs for HVDC and alternating current transmission systems to connect offshore wind farms and Equinor-operated production facilities to mainland power grids.
The scope of the agreement covers Hitachi’s full portfolio of power grid technologies and solutions.
