Under the HVDC line commutated converter (LCC) contract, Alstom, through its joint venture, KEPCO-Alstom Power Electronics Systems (KAPES), will design and deliver equipment for a 33km energy corridor in Seoul region.
With a power capacity of 1.5GW, the ±500kV HVDC link will transmit output from the Dangjin power plant in the west of South Korea to the Pyeongtaek area, east of Dangjin.
The HVDC line commutated converter (LCC) scheme was awarded to Alstom’s joint venture KEPCO-Alstom Power Electronics Systems.
Alstom also secured a ±350kV bi-pole HVDC (LCC) turnkey contract from Nalcor Energy to design, supply, and install a point-to-point HVDC solution for the Labrador-Island Transmission Lin.
The ±350 kV bi-pole system features two LCC stations, near Muskrat Falls and Soldiers Pond, near St. John’s as well as a pair of cable compounds on both shores of the Strait of Belle Isle to link submarine cables crossing the strait to the onshore overhead transmission lines.
In India, Alstom received the second phase of the 800kV Champa-Kurukshetra Ultra-High Voltage Direct Current (UHVDC) line contract from Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL).
Under the contract, Alstom will construct two ±800 kV, 3000MW converter terminal stations and deliver other related servives.
The new 3000MW transmission link will run in parallel with the first UHVDC transmission link, increasing the total transmission capacity to 6000MW.
