Under the contracts, Alstom will engineer, manufacture and deliver a total of 200 air core reactors and capacitor banks for alternating current (AC) filter applications, scheduled between autumn 2015 and June 2016.
Alstom will supply the equipment to the HVDC projects in India (Champa II), Canada (Labrador-Island transmission link) and South Korea (Dangjin).
Alstom Grid Tampere power compensation products unit managing director Timo Ala-Heikkilä said: "These contracts confirm our expertise and know-how for projects of varying challenges, supplying equipment for some of the most demanding and extreme climatic conditions from tropic India (Champa I and II) to arctic Canada (Labrador-Island transmission link).
The AC filters will reduce the harmonic distortion of alternating current and voltage to acceptably low levels.
The HVDC allows efficient, bulk power transmission across long distances through direct current, transmitting 30% more power than the conventional alternating current technology.
