June 17, 2010 - STRI - The Ultra HVDC Specialist
Ultra High Voltage Direct Current (UHVDC) with 800 kV is now being implemented in China and India to efficiently transmit large amounts of energy over long distances from remote hydro power plants. STRI has been involved in the testing of this new technology during the past couple of years both for China and India. This includes testing of basically all components such as bushings and converters as well as a long term test of a complete system during different seasons energized at 850 kV for ABB. Now a number of tests have been performed for the transmission line isolation for the first 800kV UHVDC line in India. Read more...
