Jindo–Jeju HVDC system

The Jindo–Jeju HVDC system is a 105 km HVDC submarine cable connection in South Korea between the island of Jindo, close to the Korean Peninsula, and the more distant island of Jeju. The system has a capacity of 400 MW and transmission voltage of ±250 kV and was put into service in 2014.[1] It is the second HVDC link to Jeju Island, after the Haenam–Cheju link completed in the late 1990s (the spelling of the island’s name was changed from Cheju to Jeju in 2000).

The Jindo–Jeju HVDC system is owned and operated by Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO). The cables were designed and built by LS Cable and System and the converter stations were designed and built by Alstom Grid.

The scheme is bipolar but unlike the Haenam–Cheju connection, which used a relatively conventional arrangement with two high-voltage cables and a sea return, Jindo–Jeju HVDC system uses metallic return with a total of four cables: three high-voltage cables and one medium-voltage cable. The high-voltage cables use mass-impregnated paper as the insulation material while the medium-voltage cable uses Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation.[2]

Two of the high-voltage cables are normally used as the respective high-voltage conductors for the two converter poles and the medium-voltage cable is normally used as the neutral return conductor, but the third high-voltage cable is capable of being connected in parallel with, or instead of, any of the other three cables, giving a large number of possible operating modes.[3]

The converter stations use Line-Commutated Converters with a conventional arrangement of a single Twelve-pulse bridge per pole.

gollark: nuu indeed.
gollark: I'll get 8 holidays then do rares - the few older ones I like then the new release.
gollark: I calculate that if I do it for a year I can reach 90G starting from my existing 29G.
gollark: I'm going to work on my project to make a 100G messy.
gollark: Holidays you can get at that one time of year. Rates you can get any time of year but more so then.
