Prysmian Group | German HVDC cable projects: at the core of the European Energy Transition 6 | Underground HV cables present several benefits to energy final users and communities livingwhere they are installed. Firstly, they help preserve landscapes and limit visual obstructions. In addition, these cables are less likely to be impacted by increasingly common extreme weather since they are more protected, thus require lower maintenance being less exposed. After the landscape has recovered, following the installation of the underground cable system, the new transmission linewill be practically invisible in any open countryside for its entire life span of over 40 years. In addition, there’s nearly no limitation to agriculture and farming on top of the trench once the installation is completed. The exposure tomagnetic fields is in line with local and EU recommendation. HV underground and submarine cable systems are the backbone of all power transmission networks. Indeed, HV underground cables, together with HV submarine interconnections, are an essential part of this development, both for offshore power generation and for interconnections between different systems and countries, thus supporting the implementation of larger, more integrated, efficient and sustainable power grids. High voltage cables are increasingly used across Europe. All over our continent and around the world, stakeholders are increasingly turning to underground and subsea cables to overcome challenges and obstacles linked to grid interconnectivity and expansion. The long-term social benefits of these type of interconnections outweigh the initial investment costs and result inminimal cost implications to the end consumer. High voltage cables embedded underneath the soil secure long-termelectricity supply. That is why underground and submarine power cables are the future of sustainable electricity transmission in Europe. Prysmian Group boasts a global primacy in the high voltage submarine & underground cables, essential both for offshore wind power generation and for interconnections between different systems, countries and regions, for the development of larger, smarter, more integrated and sustainable power grids. HVDC underground cable technology: the ultimate solution for environment and people Prysmian Group’s global leadership in the HVDC field relies on knowledge gained frommany years of experience in different aspects of cablemanufacturing, ranging fromAC to DC applications. Thanks to in-house R&D, material compounding and HVDC testing laboratories, time needed for the whole production process was also dramatically abated. Cables aremore protected, therefore require lower maintenance Transmission line invisible in any open countryside for its entire lifespan There’s nearly no limitation to agriculture and farming 40 years Over
