Work continues on the EATL converter stations. [2] The project is the first newly built, long-distance, HVDC line in Canada since the completion of the Quebec – New England Transmission Project, and is owned by ATCO Electric, being built by Siemens. See also Western Alberta Transmission Line (WATL).
Richmond (Philadelphia), PA – The Richmond Static Converter plant consists of five 36 MW modules and has a net capacity of 180 MW. It was ordered from Siemens in 1999 for $60 million, and installation was completed around 2002. The plant receives 69 kV, three phase, 60 Hz power from the PECO Energy Company. Although the exact electrical ...
One converter is provided at each end of the link with a DC voltage of ±250 kV and a transmission capacity of 576 MW. The converters, built by Siemens, use the Modular Multi-Level Converter technology, in the symmetrical monopole configuration. Each converter station is equipped with two, three-phase transformers in parallel, each rated at 425 ...
When line commutated converters are used, the converter station will require between 40% and 60% of its power rating as reactive power. This can be provided by banks of switched capacitors or by synchronous condensers, or if a suitable power generating station is located close to the static inverter plant, the generators in the power station ...
A frequency changer or frequency converter is electronic or electromechanical equipment that converts alternating current of one frequency to alternating current of another frequency. The equipment may also change the voltage , but if it does, that is incidental to its principal purpose, since voltage conversion of alternating current is much ...
In Electrical Engineering , a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is a shunt-connected, reactive compensation device used on transmission networks. It uses power electronics to form a voltage-source converter that can act as either a source or sink of reactive AC power to an electricity network.
The power for the decentralized system is taken directly from the national power grid and directly transformed and converted into 15 kV, 16 + 2 ⁄ 3 Hz by synchronous-synchronous-converters or static converters. Both systems need additional transformers. The converters consist of a three-phase synchronous motor and a single-phase synchronous ...
Neuhof substation in August 2009 View of former converter hall. Neuhof Substation is a 110 kV substation in Neuhof, an urban part of Bad Sachsa, Lower Saxony.The Neuhof substation went in service in 1985 and was connected with a 110 kV-powerline for three phase alternating current with the Wolkramshausen substation in former East Germany.
