(Redirected from India Sri Lanka HVDC Interconnection)

The India Sri Lanka HVDC Grid Interconnectionis a

proposedproject to link the national grids of India and Sri

Lanka. Theproject involves the construction of a HVDC

connectionbetween Madurai in southern India, andAnuradhapura in central Sri Lanka, through the Palk Strait.

The link would measure 285kilometres (177 mi) in length,

including 50 kilometres (31 mi) of submarine cables, and

would takemore than three years to construct. It would be

implemented by the Power Grid Corporation of India Limited

and CeylonElectricity Board.[1]

Having been contemplated since 1970, the project has four

implementation alternatives in consideration:[2]

MaduraiAnuradhapura

TuticorinPuttalam

MaduraiPuttalam

MaduraiAnuradhapura (with back-to-back DC)

The connection will be developed in two phases, of which the

first phase, scheduled to complete in the near-future, would

enable thetransmission of 500 MW between the two

countries. The second phase would enable a 1,000 MW

transmission capacity, the target capacity.

It is expected to reach a total development cost of approximately US$800,000,000. Such aconnection betwe

the two countries would enable the nations to sell excess energy, thus saving valuable resources.[3]
