Revision as of 11:48, 6 October 2011

The following is a list of notable high voltage direct current power transmission projects.

HVDC projects for long-distance transmission have two (or rarely, more) converter stations and a transmission line interconnecting them. Generally overhead lines are used for interconnection, but an important class of HVDC projects use submarine power cables. A back-to-back station has no transmission line and connects two AC grids. Historical HVDC systems used the Thury system of motor-generators but these have all been made obsolete by later developments such as mercury-arc valves, thyristors, and igbt power transistors.


Table

This is a sortable table. Click on column icon to sort by other keys. Notes:

  • B2B = "Back to Back" HVDC
  • IGBT = Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors
  • Thury = Series-connected generators according René Thury
  • 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. If available, coordinates of stations are also listed.
  • "Cable" means undersea or underground cable.
  • "Pole" means overhead wires.
