General Electric Power has been awarded a $320 million contract from Korea Electric Power Company to build a 500 kV high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line for Seoul, South Korea, with a transmission capacity of 4 GW
.
According to reports, GE, through its joint venture with KEPCO, KAPES, will use its first-class equipment and expertise to connect high-voltage direct current transmission lines for the Eastern Korea Power Complex and the Seoul metropolitan area
.
The KAPES joint venture was established in 2013 by Korea Electric Power Company and Alstom to develop HVDC transmission lines and increase the capacity
of the domestic transmission line network.
GE also took over the joint venture
following the acquisition of Alstom's power grid business.
According to the contract, KAPES will provide design and supply services for the 500 kV HVDC system, including related equipment for the two converter stations, such as valves, cooling systems, converter transformers, filters, switching stations and control systems
.
Jean-Pierre Faure, President of GE Power Grid Solutions' East Asia and Pacific business, said, "GE and KEPCO have 20 years of experience
in HVDC in Korea.
This new contract is a continuation
of our commitment to contributing to Korea's growing electricity economy.
”
The HVDC system is expected to be completed by the end of 2021 and will reduce the environmental impact
compared to traditional alternating current (AC) systems.
GE said the new HVDC project will increase the stability and reliability
of the nation's transmission network.
In 2014, GE was awarded a 1.
5GW Buk-Dangjin–Godeok HVDC connection project through its KAPES joint
venture.
The project, scheduled for completion by the end of 2019, aims to transfer energy from the Dangjin power plant in western South Korea to the densely populated areas of Pyeongtaek (Godeok) and the Seoul metropolitan area
