As part of the order, Siemens will supply HVDC transformers from its Nuremberg factory which will be used in both of the converter stations.
The 365 MVA transformers, with 400/470 (400 DC)/ 21.8 kV – three units plus one replacement unit per station – are scheduled to ship in 2017.
The total value of the order for TR amounts to more than €32 million, and is thus another milestone in the HVDC product line’s success story.
The entire link will go into commercial operation in 2019.
