Notes:

  • B2B = "Back to Back" HVDC
  • IGBT = Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors
  • Merc = Mercury arc valve rectifier and inverter
  • Thyr = Thyristor rectifier and inverter
  • To find by location, sort by "Converter Station 1", and look for the country name of either end of the connection that sorts first.
  • "Cable" means undersea or underground cable.
