Japan prepares hvdc technique to meet domestic need

OSTI ID:4329219

The eastern and western sections of Japan have been interconnected since 1965 through a hvdc frequency converting station located at Sakuma with a converting capacity of 300 MW. Now plans are made to connect the two islands with a second frequency converter at the border of the first system. Two 125-kV 37.5-MW three-phase bridge thyristor converters were installed at the Sakuma Testing Station in 1970 and have established confidence in the design of thyristor valves for hvdc power transmission.
