Woodbine Converter Station, Woodbine, NS part of the Maritime Link, under construction in 2016
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Woodbine Converter Station, Woodbine, NS, as it appeared while under construction in October 2016. The Maritime Link is a new 500 megawatt (MW) (+/- 200 kilovolt) HVdc (high-voltage direct current) line, as well as a 230 kV HVac (high-voltage alternating current) transmission line and associated infrastructure, between Granite Canal, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Woodbine, Nova Scotia. HVdc is the most efficient way to transmit electricity over long distances. The Project also includs two 170 kilometre (km) subsea cables across the Cabot Strait, approximately 50 km of overland transmission in Nova Scotia and 300 km of overland transmission on the island of Newfoundland. One converter station is located at Bottom Brook, Newfoundland, Canada. Woodbine Converter Station is at the other end of the High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Power corridor. |
