HVDC links are mainly used for the transmission of large amounts of power over a long distance with low losses, especially for offshore generation sites that are far from shore (>70km). HVDC submarine cables are typically single-core cables with extruded insulation and metallic radial water barrier.
ZTT has the capability of manufacturing the HVDC submarine cables with an annual capacity of 1000km and had made a series of great achievements in Chinese market, including 160kV and 200kV projects for Nan Ao and Zhoushan islands. In 2019, ZTT was awarded a 400kV HVDC interconnector in Rudong county, Jiangsu province with a transmission capacity of 800 MW for offshore wind farm development.
