HVDC Ekibastus Center

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The HVDC Ekibastus-Zentrum is an unfinished system for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission between Ekibastus in Kazakhstan and Tambov in Russia, construction of which began in 1978 and which was intended to use coal energy generated in Siberia for central Russia . After completion, this line should be 2,414 km long, making it the longest power line in the world. With an operating voltage of 750  kV to earth or 1500 kV between the conductors, with a planned transmission capacity of 6,000 MW , it would have been  one of the most powerful energy transmission systems in the world.

Until the project was discontinued at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union , several hundred kilometers of pipeline including a Volga crossing near Wolsk in Saratov Oblast had been built. For this crossing, three 124 m high overhead line masts were erected between 1989 and 1991, which are now used for a single circuit 500 kV AC voltage line.
