Siemens Energy, Nemo Link, Ross Robotics and Elia Group collaborate over development of autonomous robots to optimise the inspection of HVDC converter halls
Elia Group has launched a collaboration with three partners to develop EMC autonomous robots, which it will use for the inspection of its HVDC converter halls across Belgium and Germany. The use of such robots will improve asset inspections and maximise the operation of HVDC converter halls.
The use of robots for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) converter hall inspections will reduce the risks, time and costs associated with manual inspections
The development of robots which have electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) will allow such inspections to be undertaken without the need to temporarily switch off the assets under examination

Elia Group SA/NV is the Belgian transmission system operator, transmitting electricity efficiently, reliably and securely from producers to distribution system operators and major industrial users. The group is responsible for importing and exporting electricity from and to neighbouring countries.
Elia Group SA/NV owns the entire Belgian very high voltage grid (150 to 380 kV) and some 94% (ownership and user rights) of the Belgian high-voltage grid (30 to 70 kV). The grid is a key link between electricity markets in northern and southern Europe. It also links Belgian producers and consumers. Belgium's recent investment in interconnection capacity with its neighbours makes it one of the most open and interconnected grids in Europe.
Elia Group SA/NV has recently expanded its activities on a broader European level and, following its acquisition of the German TSO 50Hertz and in cooperation with Industry Funds Management (IFM), is now one of the top five transmission system operators in Europe.
