Hydro-Québec, the eastern Canadian utility company, and National Grid, the New England utility company, have awarded ABB, a power and automation technology group, orders to renovate three high-voltage direct current (HVDC) converter stations.  The orders, reportedly worth a combined $75 million, will replace the 20-year-old control and protection systems in the multi-terminal HVDC link, which was the first of its kind between Québec and New England in the early 1990s.
