BHEL-ABB consortium wins $353M order from PGCIL

BHEL in consortium with ABB won a US$353 million transmission link order from Power Grid Corporation of India Limited.

The order is for a ± 800 KV; 6,000 MW HVDC Multi-Terminal System Package associated with the NE/ER-N/WR Interconnector-1project.

The link comprises three converter terminals and a power transmission system with a built-in capacity of up to 8,000 MW. The use of Ultra High Voltage (+ 800 kilovolt) minimises transmission losses.

The North-East Agra U HVDC link will have a capacity to transmit up to 6,000 MW of clean hydroelectric power from the North-East Region of the country to Agra across a distance of 1,728 km. This transmission super highway will to a large extent ease the ever increasing power shortages in northern India.

This will be the world’s first ± 800 kV, 6,000 MW Ultra High Voltage Multi-terminal DC transmission link and the largest order in temrs of value for Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited in the T&D sector.

The first stage of the system is scheduled to be operational in 2014 and the second stage in 2015.
