Borouge International accelerates the energy transformation with advanced HVDC insulation system materials

The energy transformation requires a significant increase in power transmission infrastructure to connect renewable energy sources such as offshore wind farms and support electrification. This includes both grid expansion and higher-capacity cable systems that deliver cost-efficient and reliable transmission. High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology plays a central role, enabling efficient long-distance transmission with minimal losses.

Enabling higher-capacity HVDC transmission

To support these requirements, Borealis GmbH, which is wholly owned by Borouge Group International AG (Borouge International), is advancing its Borlink™ technology platform with the introduction of Borlink LE0650DC, a new semiconductive compound that enables HVDC cable systems to operate at conductor temperatures of up to 90°C.

Operating at higher temperatures allows increased current carrying capacity and higher power transmission capability, supporting more efficient long-distance electricity transmission.
