High-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission technology has not been deployed widely in the Midwest\, compared to alternating current (AC) transmission. This is in part because the equipment needed to manage a DC grid\, and to connect the DC and AC grids\, has been prohibitively expensive. Today\, HVDC technology is gaining traction around the world as power system are modernized and decarbonized. Technological improvements and cost declines in DC-AC converter stations have helped spur deployment. During this webinar\, participants will hear from one of the industry’s leading manufacturers of converter stations on the capabilities these assets can offer and how those capabilities can address emerging reliability needs and be part of an optimized transmission grid that meets the MID GRID 2035 vision. \n\n\nWatch Recording URL:https://midwesterngovernors.org/event/mga-mid-grid-2035-converter-stations-2/ CATEGORIES:Virtual Symposium END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20221004 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20221005 DTSTAMP:20260119T063109 CREATED:20251215T220639Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251215T220639Z UID:10219-1664841600-1664927999@midwesterngovernors.org SUMMARY:MGA MID-GRID 2035 – Converter Stations DESCRIPTION:The MGA will host Roger Rosenqvist\, Vice President of Business Development for Hitachi Energy’s HVDC Division in North America for a webinar about converter stations.

Since we heard from Chairman Glick at last year’s MGA-OMS Transmission Summit\, the FERC-NARUC task force has meet multiple times\, FERC’s transmission planning NOPR has received comments from stakeholders\, and FERC has issues even more proposed rules related to transmission planning and interconnection\, just to name of few of the things that FERC has going on that is impacting transmission. \n\n\nWatch the Recording URL:https://midwesterngovernors.org/event/mga-mid-grid-2035-ferc-update-webinar-2/ CATEGORIES:Virtual Symposium END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220920 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220921 DTSTAMP:20260119T063109 CREATED:20251215T220539Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251215T220539Z UID:10217-1663632000-1663718399@midwesterngovernors.org SUMMARY:MGA MID-GRID 2035 – FERC Update Webinar DESCRIPTION:Liz Salerno\, Lead\, Transmission and Technology Initiatives for Chairman Glick\, FERC provided an update on Transmission related topics at FERC.
