In 2000, as part of the power exchange between Texas and Mexico, a high-voltage direct current facility equipped with insulated-gate bipolar transistors was built. This facility, built for Central Power and Light (now AEP Texas ) by the ABB Group , operates at a bipolar voltage of 15.9 kV, and has a maximum transfer rate of 36 megawatts.
The Texas Interconnection covers most of the state of Texas. Interconnections can be tied to each other via high-voltage direct current power transmission lines ( DC ties ), or with variable-frequency transformers (VFTs), which permit a controlled flow of energy while also functionally isolating the independent AC frequencies of each side.
The Texas Interconnection is an alternating current (AC) power grid – a wide area synchronous grid – that covers most of the state of Texas. The grid is managed by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). The Texas Interconnection is one of the three minor grids in the North American power transmission grid.
Hurricane Beryl landing on Texas coast has caused several road closures and delays in the Houston area and beyond. More than 1 million customers have lost power within hours of Beryl's landfall ...
