Mogocha - Back-to-Back Converter Station

The Mogocha HVDC BTB station is situated in the Chitinskaya Power System in Siberia, specifically at Mogocha. Its primary purpose is to connect two separate and previously unconnected 220-kV transmission systems in eastern Russia: The eastern system (Chita) and the far-eastern system (Khabarovsk)

The Mogocha HVDC BTB project utilizes equipment developed and manufactured in Russia.

The Mogocha HVDC BTB station is an important infrastructure project for the Russian power grid. It allows for the interconnection of previously isolated power systems, which can improve grid stability, enable power trading between regions, and potentially increase the overall efficiency of the power network in eastern Russia.

The construction of a similar 200-MW BTB station called Khani, connecting 220-kV systems between Irkutsk and Khabarovsk, was planned for 2014. This project, along with Mogocha, indicates a broader strategy to strengthen and interconnect power systems across Siberia and the Russian Far East.

The Mogocha HVDC project is part of Russia's efforts to modernize and expand its power transmission infrastructure, particularly in remote and challenging regions of the country.
