India's first HVDC transmission line to be operational on Aug 31

Financial Express reported that India’s first high-voltage, direct-current transmission line, connecting the northern states with the north-eastern ones, will be operational on August 31st. The 800 KV, 6,000 MW line was built by Power Grid Corporation of India at an investment of INR 12,000 crore.

A senior Power Grid official said that “The high-capacity HVDC bipole line is being implemented from Bishwanath Chariali in Assam to Agra in Uttar Pradesh through Alipurduar in West Bengal. The high-voltage corridor would facilitate transfer of 24,000 MW from future generation projects in the north-eastern region and Bhutan.”

The corridor shall integrate the north-eastern region with other regions of the country to facilitate smooth and reliable power transfer, giving rise to a stable national grid. The nature of control of power flow of the HVDC interconnection provides additional flexibility in grid operation, thereby improving various grid parameters.

The link will act as a highway from the north-eastern region to the rest of the country and shall play a significant role in the hydro potential in the north-eastern region.

The transmission project, connecting 1,728 kilometer, was started in September 2013 and is nearly complete. Currently, only China has such a high-voltage transmission corridor. Two more such corridors are likely to come up in India, which include Champa-Kurukshetra and Raigarh-Pugalur-New Trichur.

The Power Grid official explained that “There was a need to interconnect the north-eastern grid with a strong, reliable and secure interconnection with the rest of the Indian grid, which would also take care of the large potential of hydro power in the region.”

Currently, the north-eastern states are generating about 2,000 MW, while demand is around 1,610 MW. In the future, the HVDC line could help to evacuate electricity to the tune of 50,000 MW and supply to power-deficit northern states.

Government-owned BHEL and Switzerland-based ABB have supplied equipment for the project. The line has overcome a major hurdle by passing through the chicken-neck area in Siliguri district of West Bengal, having an acute constraints in the availability of right of way.

The HVDC interconnector will facilitate bidirectional control flow of power, which means it can transfer power from the north-eastern region when it is in surplus during the high hydro period of the year. On the other hand, the north-eastern region can also import power from other regions, particularly in the lean hydro period of the year.

ABB energizes first phase of India UHVDC power link

T&D World reported that ABB has energized the first pole of the North-East Agra 800 KV Ultra-high voltage direct current transmission link, which will supply clean hydropower from northeastern India to a substation in Agra, home of the Taj Mahal and from there, feed it across north India.

The project is being executed by ABB together with Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, a leading government-owned power company, on a turnkey basis, including design, system engineering, supply, installation and commissioning for Power Grid Corporation of India Limited, India’s central transmission utility.

This completes phase one of the project, which enables transfer of up to 1,500MW of electricity along this link, across a distance of 1,728 kilometers. When fully commissioned in 2016, the link will become the world’s first multi-terminal UHVDC connection, capable of transmitting enough electricity to serve around 90 million people, based on average national consumption.

The North-East Agra link will help address the shortage of power in north India by transporting hydropower generated in the Himalayas in the country’s north east. This region has abundant untapped renewable resources, but load centers are thousands of kilometers away and power must pass through a 22-kilometer wide corridor of land bordered by Nepal and Bangladesh on either side.

Mr Claudio Facchin, president of ABB’s Power Systems division, said that “This is a major milestone in the execution of the landmark North-East Agra project, the first multi-terminal UHVDC transmission link in the world, and underlines ABB’s global leadership in HVDC technology, We continue to support India in the development of its power infrastructure and integrating more renewables to bring clean power to millions of people. This is a focus area of our Next Level strategy.”

The 6000 MW UHVDC link operating at 800 KV will have a world record converter capacity with provision for contingencies. The world’s first multi-terminal UHVDC link will have three converter stations two “sending” stations will convert power from alternating current to DC for transmission over a single power line that will pass through the narrow corridor and deliver it to a receiving” station in Agra where it will be converted back into AC for distribution to end users. There is also a provision for reversal of power flow from Agra to North-East. The multi-terminal solution considerably reduces costs compared to the alternative of running separate power links from multiple hydropower plants to Agra.

UHVDC transmission is a development of HVDC, a technology pioneered by ABB more than 60 years ago and now a preferred solution to transmit large amounts of power over long distances to high consumption centers with minimum losses.

Since its inception, ABB has been awarded about 100 HVDC projects, which represents a total installed capacity of more than 120,000 MW and accounts for around half the global installed base. ABB also has an impressive HVDC track record in India, including Rihand-Delhi, the first such project, commissioned in 1990.
