GK Wien–Southeast

The GK Vienna-Southeast ( abbreviation for direct current coupling Vienna-Southeast ) was in the substation Vienna Southeast operated between June 1993 and October 1996 HVDC short coupling for coupling the Austrian and Hungarian electricity network. The connection point of the GK Vienna-Southeast to the Hungarian power grid was in Győr.

Plant

These built by Siemens plant had a maximum transmission capacity of 600 MW at an operating voltage of 142 kV and was largely in their technique with the also built by Siemens HVDC short coupling in Etzenricht identical. As with the HVDC short coupling Etzenricht 864 thyristors were used. Not as in single-phase transformers Etzenricht six, but as in three-phase transformers However Duernrohr four were used. In contrast to the latter, the HVDC south-east Vienna 1995, after the sync circuit of the eastern and western European power grid is not immediately dispensed with, since it would have given control engineering problems due to lack of national 380 kV grid in Austria, if you had the time interconnected networks directly.

These problems were overcome in 1996 with the commissioning of frequency control devices in the southern Polish coal-fired power plants, so that the GK Vienna-Southeast was unnecessary until a year later in October 1996 and could be shut down.

By eliminating the HVDC short coupling, the maximum transmission power of the 380 kV line south-east Vienna -Györ increased to 1,514 MW.

It should be like the plant in Etzenricht dismantled and erected on a site in Eastern Europe near the border with the CIS countries. The however, was not implemented and so the facility was dismantled and disposed of in 2007 /08. A harmonic filter but remained as a keepsake. Instead of GK Vienna-Southeast, a new building for the main dispatching Austria. The converter Hall was not demolished, but rebuilt in a workshop hall.

From the third (before the closure of GK Vienna-Southeast second ) mast 260 meters south of the plant is located, the line must be joking to 26 kilometers in length is on together with the two circuits leading to the substation Sarasdorf 380 kV lines the same poles laid. The line passes through the substation Sara village about 50 meters south. After a further 37.5 kilometers, the line crosses the Hungarian border. At the beginning of 2010, a second 380 kV circuit was installed, for which the line masts were already designed. This circuit branches at Öttevény of the pipeline route to Györ in a southwesterly direction and terminates at the substation Szombathely.
