HVDC Leyte–Luzon is a

geothermal power plants on the islands of Leyte and Luzon
.

Abbreviated as 8LI1NAG-ORMOC, 8LI1NAG-ORMOC HVDC [1] (with "HVDC" at end) and known as Ormoc-Naga HVDC transmission line.

History

The feasibility study of the transmission project was conducted by the

Japan Export-Import Bank.[3] The HVDC Leyte–Luzon went in service on August 10, 1998.[4][5] It is operated by the privately owned National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) since January 15, 2009, and previously by government-owned companies National Transmission Corporation (TransCo) and National Power Corporation
(NAPOCOR). It was owned previously by NAPOCOR from August 10, 1998, to March 1, 2003, and is owned currently by TransCo since March 1, 2003.

Technical description

The transmission line is an triple-bundle power line and bipolar HVDC.

Capacity of the Leyte-Luzon is a 440 MW.

ABB Group in cooperation with Marubeni Corporation.[7]

The length of submarine cable is 21 kilometers (13 mi) and the total length of overhead lines is 430 kilometers (270 mi).[4][5][7]

The crossing of San Juanico Strait is realized as overhead crossing with a tower on an island in the strait.

By time in construction of the 1st tower ((8LI1NAG-ORMOC HVDC)0001) was erected and it is now commonly the first HVDC tower in the Philippines.

Route

The HVDC Leyte–Luzon begins at

converter station (Leyte) and ends at Naga converter station (Camarines Sur).[5]
It consists three sections:

The grounding electrodes are situated at Albuera at 10°54′01″N 124°42′24″E / 10.90028°N 124.70667°E / 10.90028; 124.70667 (Albuera electrode line termination tower) and near Calabanga at 13°43′59″N 123°14′29″E / 13.73306°N 123.24139°E / 13.73306; 123.24139 (Calabanga electrode) . They are connected with the converter stations by 25 respectively 15-kilometre-long overhead lines. These lines are 69kV DC.
