Alstom successfully delivers 1st 800 kV HVDC transformer for India's Champa-Kurukshetra Phase 1 Project

12 Oct 2015 Evaluate

Alstom has successfully manufactured and delivered India's first 800 kV High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) power transformer for the prestigious Champa-Kurukshetra Ultra High Voltage Direct Current (UHVDC) Phase 1 link. The project will connect the power station of central India near Champa to the demand center, in northern India at Kurukshetra, through a 1,365 km transmission line; creating an 'energy superhighway' of efficient power transmission.

This is the first out of nine power transformers for the project that is built in Alstom's largest transformer manufacturing and testing facility in India. The transformer, measured at 13m long, 5.3m high and 5.1m wide, weighs 310 tonnes. Once erected at site, it will weigh an additional 175 tonnes. The transformer travelled over three months to cover a distance of over 2,000 km to reach the project site at Champa. The second transformer, already dispatched, is expected to reach Champa by December 2015.

For this turnkey project, Alstom will also deliver 32 converter transformers, 24 double Thyristors valves, 400/220 kV gas and air-insulated switchgear and substation equipment, including Alstom’s first AIS 800 kV high speed Direct Current (DC) switch. The turnkey work includes overall project management, studies, design, engineering, training, manufacture, civil works at site, site erection, testing and commissioning.

Alstom has delivered over 40 HVDC projects worldwide and is currently executing projects such as DolWin3 in Germany and Rio Madeira in Brazil.
