Here are four major HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) transmission line routes in India along with their voltage levels:
- Rihand-Delhi HVDC Line
-
Voltage Level: 500 kV
- This HVDC line connects the Rihand Power Station in Uttar Pradesh to the national grid in Delhi.
- Chandrapur-Nagpur HVDC Line
-
Voltage Level: 500 kV
- It is an important HVDC link in Maharashtra, connecting power from the Chandrapur thermal power plant to Nagpur.
- Kochi-Kuttampuzha HVDC Line
-
Voltage Level: 500 kV
- This line links the power systems in Kerala to other parts of the grid.
- East-North HVDC Link
-
Voltage Level: 800 kV
- This is one of the most powerful HVDC links, connecting the eastern part of India (like from the power stations in Odisha) to the northern grid.
These HVDC lines play a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency of power transmission over long distances, minimizing losses, and ensuring stable power delivery to different regions.
