Scandinavian System Upgraded
Energinet.dk (Fredericia, Denmark) and Statnett (Oslo, Norway) have selected ABB (Zurich, Switzerland) to upgrade the control system of their 30-year-old Skagerrak 1&2 high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) link with ABB's new system called the MACH 2.

More than 400 systems using ABB's MACH 2 are in operation.
