Kitron has received orders from an undisclosed company to provide test systems and electronics modules for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology used for offshore wind.
The Norwegian company will develop test systems and produce electronics modules that are part of control systems for HVDC technology.
According to Kitron, the orders have a value of over NOK 75 million (approximately EUR 7.56 million).
