Home > HVDC Vancouver Island

The HVDC Vancouver Island is the name for HVDC interconnection between Vancouver Island and the Canadian mainland, which went into operation in 1968 and was extended in 1977. HVDC Vancouver Island consists of a 42 kilometers overhead line and a 33 kilometers long submarine cable. In the year 1968 the first pole of the HVDC Vancouver Island went into service. Its static inverter s use mercury steam electric rectifier s. The maximum transmission rate of this pole is 312 megawatts, its transmission voltage is 260kV. In 1977 the HVDC Vancouver Island was supplemented by installing a second pole. This pole uses thyristor valve s in its static inverters and can transfer at an operating voltage of 280kV with a maximum power of 370 megawatts. Currently work on a submarine cable for three-phase alternating current is being constructed between the Canadian mainland and Vancouver Island, that will replace the HVDC line.

HVDC GotlandThe HVDC Gotland is the oldest plant for high voltage direct current transmission in the world. The first HVDC Gotland service (Gotland 1) went into service in 1954. It could transfer 20 megawatts over a 98 kilometer long submarine cable between Vaestervi	HVDC Wolgograd-DonbassThe HVDC Wolgograd Donnbass is high voltage direct current line between the hydro-electric power plant Wolgograd and Donnbass, which went into service in 1964. It consists of an overhead line 475 kilometers in length.
