HVDC Transmission Market Overview:
The South Africa HVDC transmission market is emerging as a crucial component in the country's efforts to improve its energy infrastructure and integrate renewable energy sources. South Africa's strategic focus on enhancing its power grid's reliability and reducing transmission losses is driving the adoption of HVDC technology. Projects like the Cahora Bassa HVDC system, which connects Mozambique and South Africa, exemplify the region's commitment to HVDC transmission. Government initiatives and investments in modernizing the power sector are expected to further stimulate the market, positioning South Africa as a key player in the African HVDC transmission landscape.
The global market report with minute details of the HVDC transmission market predicts a rise by 7.45% CAGR during the forecast period covering 2024 to 2032. Market Research Future (MRFR) discussed several factors to understand how the market will proceed during the forecast period. These factors are the growing need for solutions to curb energy loss, better technological support, hike in investment to assist research and development facilities, rising demand in various offshore programs, government initiatives, and others. The threat posed by traditional transmission wires is also going to bolster the growth of the HVDC transmission market.
Segmentation:
The global HVDC transmission market report, as discussed by MRFR analysts, has segments like configuration, application, technology, and voltage rating. Data gleaned from these segments would help in forming an idea about where the market stands and what benefits it can have in the coming years.
By technology, the global market understanding of the HVDC transmission market includes studies of Low Commuted Converter (LCC) and Voltage Sourced Converter (VSC). The LCC HVDC systems use semiconductors that are able to withstand voltage in either polarity, whereas the VSC HVDC system use semiconductors to pass the current in any direction.
By application, the study on the global HVDC transmission market includes an understanding of segments like asynchronous grids, underground cables, and offshore cables.
By configuration, the report on the HVDC transmission market has been studied on the basis of bi-polar, back-to-back, mono-polar, and multi-terminal links.
Regional Analysis:
Developing countries where the demand for safe power transmission is on the rise will witness a strong hike in the global HVDC transmission market revenues. Offshore infrastructural developments would also bolster the growing HVDC transmission market.

Industry News:
In August 2020, the developer of the SOO Green project declared the initiation of an Open Solicitation process to assign transmission capacity rights for such an unprecedented project co-locating electric transmission line underground that uses an already existing railroad corridor. The project relies on companies like Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, Jingoli Power, and Siemens Energy for financial support and shares a strategic bond with Canadian Pacific.
This high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line displays features like 2,100 MW and 525KV, and it will connect energy markets in the Iowa (MISO) and Illinois (PJM), which will help in curbing Midwestern transmission constraints. The $2.5 billion interregional “backbone” transmission project is expected to start its operation in late 2024.
In August 2020, the Sofia offshore wind farm, owned by German utility RWE, is getting constructed 200 km off the UK coast, known as the Dogger Bank in the North Sea area. The project will get its HDVC transmission line from GE.
During the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for construction and other sectors faced serious slumps due to disruption in the workflow. This was triggered by lockdowns and rift in the supply chain. Such crises may have some adverse effects on the market. However, a resurgence in the market, initiated by governments, is expected to bring the market back on track.
