Reliable and sustainable power supply for megacities such as New York

07/02/2007 | At the end of June 2007, well ahead of schedule, Siemens Power Transmission and Distribution (PTD) commissions the new high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) transmission link between New Jersey and Long Island, New York. Thanks to this HVDC link, Long Island will receive power from the grid of New Jersey in a low-loss and environmentally compatible way, which will help to cover a constantly growing power demand and strengthen the “backbone” of Long Island’s transmission system.
