Alstom, CET to develop power transmission systems in China
Alstom Grid has entered into a cooperation agreement with China Electric Power Equipment
and Technology (CET) to develop ultra-high-voltage direct current (UHVDC) power
transmission systems in China.
Under the terms of the agreement, CET and Alstom will assist in the development and
manufacture of 1,100kV and 800kV converter transformer technology.
The development of UHVDC transmission systems will allow efficient transmission of bulk
electricity over longer distances in China.
