CU (Powerline)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CU is the designation of a line for high voltage direct current transmission between Coal Creek, North Dakota, USA and Dickinson, Minnesota, USA. The CU, which went in service in 1979, can transfer an electrical power of 1000 megawatts at a symmetrical transmission voltage of 400 kV. As line connection a 710 kilometers long overhead line is used. As is case at all modern HVDC systems thyristor static inverters are used.
