Future Energy also Comes from Middle East!

The Middle East region is now the main source for oil especially in the Arabian Gulf. In future,solar thermal power plants in sun-rich regions of North Africa and the Middle East will in the future produce electricity for Europe in major projects such as Desertec.The energy will then be transmitted to the consumer over distances of more than 500 kilometers via high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power lines or undersea cables. The existing cables, systems and components need to be adapted to the future energy mix now, so that the electricity will get to the consumer as reliably and with as few losses as possible.
The power electronics experts at the IISB in cooperation with Siemens Energy are working on technological solutions, and are developing components for the efficient conversion of electrical energy.
