MON.ITA

Starting points of the line |
MON.ITA is a high-voltage direct current transmission system that is currently under construction - submarine cable connection between the Italian substation Cepagatti near Pescara and the converter station Lastva Grbaljska in Montenegro, which is yet to be built . MON.ITA will be a bipolar HVDC system with an operating voltage of 500 kV and a transmission capacity of 1000 MW, implemented by Toshiba and should go into operation in 2019. [outdated]
MON.ITA will be realized without overhead line sections and in the form of a 415-kilometer high-voltage cable of which 393 kilometers are in the sea as submarine cable and 16 kilometers on the Italian mainland and six kilometers in Montenegro.
To balance the voltage in the bipolar section, copper cables with a cross-section of 630 square millimeters will be laid on land from the converter station to the grounding electrodes off the coast of Italy and Montenegro. This earth cable is 26 kilometers long in Italy and 14 kilometers in Montenegro. The actual HVDC cable for power transmission is implemented as a double aluminum cable, each 1900 square millimeters.
To connect the converter station Lastva Grbaljska to the three-phase high-voltage transmission network , a 160-kilometer 400-kV overhead line to Pljevlja and a 35-kilometer 400-kV overhead line to the 400-kV overhead line Podgorica II - Trebinje must be built.
