WHITE PAPER: Polypropylene Capacitors for High Voltage Direct Current Power Transmission, Distribution and Interconnects: Global Market Outlook to 2030

The best wind resources are located offshore. Far offshore in fact. And the process of harnessing that resource efficiently is being enabled by the effective transference of energy hundreds of miles with minimal losses using advanced capacitors for power factor correction along the way. This article describes the emerging market for high voltage direct current (HVDC) capacitor solutions and how changes in age-old dielectric film + fluid technology is giving way to dry-type, compact capacitor solutions to fit the designs of state-of-the art static converter manufacturers looking to solve the technical riddle of moving large amounts of wind energy long distances without losses.
