ABB completes the upgradation of Celilo high voltage direct current (HVDC) converter station in Oregon

USA: ABB has completed the upgradation of Celilo high voltage direct current (HVDC) converter station in Oregon and has been handed over to the state utility Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), a power marketing agency under the US Department of Energy. The upgradation of the converter station has resulted in enhancement of the capacity from 3100 MW to 3800 MW. The  station upgradation includes key components such as valves, controls and transformers as well as switchgear and cooling equipment.

TechSci Research finds out that global power and distribution transformers market is on the verge of expansion on account of increasing demand of electricity and development of power infrastructure which includes development of new assets and upgradation of existing ones. The growth in demand for electricity is spurred by increasing population and industrial expansion all over the world. The upgradation of existing infrastructure results in replacement of ageing transformers with new ones which is a big boost for power and distribution transformers market. The enhancement in the power transmission capacity requires installation of higher capacity transformers in the network to meet the requirements of power transmission.

According to released report of TechSci ResearchGlobal Power and Distribution Transformers Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2020”, the market for power transformer will grow at a CAGR of 6.2% during 2015-20 and distribution transformer will grow at a CAGR of 5.1% in the same period. The development in power infrastructure will result in surge in the market for power and distribution transformers.
