Higashi-Shimuzu Frequency Converter
Encyclopedia
Higashi-Shimizu Frequency Converter is the third facility in Japan
for interconnecting the power grid of Eastern Japan, which is operated with 50 hertz to that of Western Japan, which is operated with 60 hertz.
The Higashi-Shimizu Frequency Converter Station, which is operated by Chubu Electric Power Co and situated northeast of Shimizu
at 677-3 Tanakake, Hirose-aza, Shimizu-ku, Shizuoka
is fed over a 275 kV power line
and over a 154 kV power line. Its inverters
operate with a DC voltage
of 125 kV and have a maximum transmission rate of 300 MW.
The other two stations are at Shin Shinano and Sakuma Dam
