The project, implemented at the Bauru substation (São Paulo), is part of a system modernization plan backed by an investment of approximately USD 33 million from Brazil's National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL). It includes the installation of four high-capacity shunt reactors, which play a critical role in maintaining grid reliability by absorbing excess energy that may increase voltage levels, especially in extensive transmission networks or under low-demand conditions. This contributes to strengthening grid stability and ensuring safe and efficient energy delivery to users. From an environmental perspective, the use of vegetable oil reduces the carbon footprint associated with materials by up to 20% and lifecycle emissions by approximately 11%. Additionally, vegetable oil significantly improves environmental safety due to its high biodegradability, reducing ecological risks in case of leaks. This advancement aligns with ISA ENERGÍA in Brazil's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, with intermediate reduction targets of 60% by 2040 and 90% by 2050, reinforcing its role in advancing the energy transition across the region. "The implementation of this technology represents a milestone in electricity transmission in Latin America, demonstrating that operational reliability, innovation, and sustainability can be successfully integrated into critical infrastructure. Replacing petroleum-based inputs with renewable alternatives reinforces ISA's commitment to a clean energy transition, aligned with its Strategy 2040," said Gabriel Melguizo, ISA's Vice President of Energy Transmission.

How Hitachi Energy manages requirements at scale in large infrastructure project. How do you manage requirements when projects span multiple systems, stakeholders, and constantly evolving inputs? At Taipuva Polarion Days 2026, Hitachi Energy shared a behind-the-scenes look at their journey of implementing Requirement Management and Polarion X across their HVDC business - where scale and complexity quickly turn traditional approaches into bottlenecks. Their speaker, Johanna Varnander, walked through how they are moving away from document-based ways of working towards a more structured and scalable approach - built on a shared information model, governance, and collaboration across teams. But as with all large transformations, the story wasn't about tools alone. It was about changing how requirements are created, managed, and understood across the organisation. When requirements stop scaling. A key challenge highlighted in the session is something many organizations recognize: document-based approaches can become too extensive and complex to handle as projects grow. As requirements increase, so do: * dependencies between systems * communication needs between teams and stakeholders * challenges in maintaining traceability and consistency Scaling requirements management is not just about handling more data - it's about managing relationships between requirements at a much larger scale. From fragmented processes to a shared model. Hitachi Energy's approach focuses on building a common way of working across the organization. This includes: * moving towards a unified information model * reducing unnecessary customization to keep processes manageable * strengthening governance to ensure alignment across teams They also highlight practical challenges along the way - from handling large requirement imports to balancing tool maturity and integration needs. Why you should watch the full presentation? This session offers a candid, real-world look at what happens when requirements management is pushed to scale. The team shares insights that are directly relevant for organizations facing similar challenges, including: * why document-centric approaches start to break down * how scaling requirements introduces new types of complexity * what to expect when transitioning to structured requirements management * how governance and collaboration become critical success factors These insights only scratch the surface of what Hitachi Energy covers in the full session. If you want a practical look at how requirements management evolves in large infrastructure environments - and the challenges that come with it - this is a session you should not miss.

Hitachi Energy set to invest 10 million dollars in the USA. 10 April 2026 11:29 Supporting partner. Zurich/Cary - Hitachi Energy is building a new Power Electronics Center of Competence at a cost of 10 million US dollars in Cary in the US State of North Carolina. The facility will lead to the creation of around 150 jobs and is intended to strengthen the North American power grid. (CONNECT) Hitachi Energy has announced plans to construct a new Power Electronics Center of Competence at a cost of 10 million US dollars in Cary, North Carolina. The planned facility reportedly offers proof of the Zurich-based electrification company's commitment to strengthening the North American power grid, according to a statement. The site will create around 150 jobs and expands local engineering, testing and system integration capacities. The Power Electronics Center of Competence supports Hitachi Energy's power electronics technologies, including STATCOM systems, Fixed Series Compensation (FSC), Synchronous Capacitor Systems (SCS) and advanced grid control systems. The center will also serve as a global hub for Hitachi Energy's cybersecurity solutions, helping operators to safeguard critical network infrastructure. Back in 2025, Hitachi Energy announced its intention to invest 1 billion US dollars to support its manufacturing activities in the USA. New demands such as the expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) data centers, industrial electrification, the integration of new energy sources and population growth are also placing the US power grid under pressure, according to the company. "We are in the 'age of electricity', where demand is growing faster and the grid has become the new frontline of energy security. As AI data centers reshape consumption patterns and electrification accelerates across industries, this new center will strengthen our ability to respond quickly with localized expertise, helping customers maintain grid stability, resilience and reliability", as Marco Berardi, SVP and Head of Grid & Power Quality Solutions and Service at Hitachi Energy, comments in the statement. The construction work is expected to be completed in the fall of 2026. ce/ja

Hitachi fixes Energy Ellipse. Hitachi Energy has an update available to handle a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability in its Energy Ellipse, according to a report with CISA. This vulnerability, discovered by Hitachi Energy PSIRT, can end up exploited to carry out remote code execution (RCE) attack on the product. In the issue, a vulnerability exists in Jasper Report third party component used for creating custom reports in Ellipse product. A Java deserialization vulnerability has been discovered in Jaspersoft Library. Improper handling of externally supplied data may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely on systems that use the affected library. CVE-2025-10492 is the case number for the vulnerability, which has a CVSS V3 base score of 9.8. Versions up to and including version 9.0.50 of Hitachi Energy Ellipse suffer from the issue. The product sees use mainly in the critical manufacturing sector, and on a global basis. In terms of a mitigation, since the vulnerability exists in Jasper Report component that is external to Ellipse application, users should restrict the loading of external custom reports created by end users by allowing only trusted Jasper reports generated by the system administrator. For additional information and support contact your product provider or Hitachi Energy service organization. Click here for contact information for Hitachi Energy contact-centers. The following general security practices and firewall configurations can help protect a process control network from attacks that originate from outside the network. Those practices include: * Process control systems end up physically protected from direct access by unauthorized personnel * No direct connections to the Internet, and separate them from other networks by means of a firewall system that has a minimal number of ports exposed * Process control systems should not end up used for Internet surfing, instant messaging, or receiving emails * Portable computers and removable storage media should be carefully scanned for viruses before they are connected to a control system * Proper password policies and processes should end up followed Submit a comment.
