Next in line is testing of the HVDC back-to-back converter station, followed by the testing of the whole interconnector, reports Energy Business Review.
The LitPol Link power connection consists of three elements — HVDC power transmission line, HVDC back-to-back converter station in Alytus, and two transformer substations in both countries.
The link that will connect power transmission infrastructures of Lithuania and Western Europe for the first time will have a capacity of 500 MW.
