China completes wind power transmission project

From northeast to north China.

An expansion project for a power converter station has been completed to allow wind power to be transmitted through this route.

According to the State Grid Corporation of China, the project will allow the station to transfer up to 3 million kilowatts of power. This makes the station the world's largest direct-current back-to-back power station.

The expansion will improve northeast China's ability to transfer power to grids in the cities of Beijing, Tianjin and Tangshan and improve the allocation of wind power generated in the northeast, the company said.

Northeast China has abundant wind sources. The company has predicted that the region's installed wind power capacity will eventually reach 24.34 million kilowatts, accounting for more than 17 percent of its total installed capacity.
