HVDC technology will connect Khavda to Nagpur
The ±800 kV, 6,000 MW bi-pole HVDC system will integrate bulk renewables from where they are generated, in the Khavda area of Gujarat to the industrial center of Nagpur in Maharashtra.
This project crosses 1,200 kilometer and feeds into the country’s 500-gigawatt (GW) renewable evacuation and interstate transmission system.
The scope of the project includes converter transformers, AC/DC control and protection, gas-insulated high-voltage switchgear, thyristor valves, 765kV/400kV substation and auxiliary systems to be delivered by Hitachi Energy India Ltd.
