Be at the World's leading HVDC Transmission Summit!

Rapid Developments including the growth in demand for the usage of renewable energy sources and increasing demand for electricity in modern society is forcing transmission (system) operators to invest in connections with greater capacity and/or length. Using only AC pose significant problems, related to transmission losses and principle length limitations. As such, the development of HVDC transmission systems has become increasingly important in recent years, as these systems can transmit large amounts of power over long distances with lower losses.

Despite its advantages, HVDC transmission also faces certain challenges that impede its widespread adoption. These include high capital and operational costs, particularly for converter stations and protection systems, which require advanced technology and skilled personnel. Additionally, the lack of standardization and interoperability can complicate coordination and integration of different HVDC systems and vendors, as well as increase the complexity and risk of projects. Regulatory and institutional barriers can create uncertainty and delay the planning, permitting, and financing of HVDC projects, thus affecting the allocation of costs and benefits among stakeholders. Finally, technical and operational issues such as harmonics, switching transients, insulation coordination, fault detection and isolation, and control and communication can also be a hindrance.

Equip Global's HVDC Transmission Summit 2026 taking place on 6-9 January 2026 in SINGAPORE, will address and highlight the entire HVDC cable life cycle, providing participants with the confidence to tackle HVDC related issues in their work. As a practical masterclass on HVDC transmission, it is designed to provide in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience in HVDC, covering everything from HVDC transmission fundamentals to advanced HVDC converter station design and HVDC system protection and control. Participants will explore key components such as thyristor valves, converter transformers, harmonic filters, and DC transmission circuits, and how they contribute to the efficiency and reliability of HVDC systems. Additionally, the course delves into topics such as AC vs. DC harmonic filters, earth electrode design, and the advantages of HVDC transmission for offshore wind farms.

Through expert-led sessions, case studies, and world class presentations, participants at this HVDC Transmission Summit 2026 will be equipped to manage HVDC projects, implement design specifications, and ensure reliable HVDC power transmission efficiency. Make sure you attend the 2026 summit!

PIC – 40% cash back when you register for an Equip Global Conference or Training Course

The objectives of the PIC Scheme are the same as those of Equip Global. Both support investment in innovation, productivity and continuous training.

If you are a registered business in Singapore, you can enjoy huge huge tax savings in the form of cash payouts and/or tax deductions when you invest in training of employees. Your attendance at any Equip Global conference or training course is eligible for PIC credits, either as a 40% cash refund or 400% tax deduction. We will provide you with full supporting documentation after the event and assist you in getting the claim completed.

Continuous training and upgrading of your employees is key to the success of your organization. What’s more, boost your tax savings and claim 40% of your registration fee by attending an Equip Global conference or training course today. To do so, follow this simple 5 minute process:

Select, register and pay for your conference/training course of your choice
Complete the PIC form which you can download here: http://www.iras.gov.sg/irasHome/uploadedFiles/Quick_Links/Tax_forms/Business_and_employers/Cash%20Payout%20Application%20Form_B2011_final.xls
Attend the event, learn and network with industry peers
File your receipt (which we will email you), record of attendance (which we will provide you at the event) and the completed PIC form with your accounts department which they will submit to IRAS to process the claim. If you do not have an accounts department or need help with the PIC claim, our staff will be very happy to assist.

Take advantage of the PIC scheme to upgrade your skills, gain the latest information in your field of work, and get access to the knowledge that can help drive your organizations’ performance and productivity.
