HVDC Thailand–Malaysia explained

The HVDC Thailand–Malaysia is a 110 kilometer long HVDC powerline between Khlong Ngae in Thailand at 6.7156°N 100.4522°W and Gurun in Malaysia. The HVDC Thailand–Malaysia, which crosses the border between Malaysia and Thailand at 6.5297°N 100.4031°W, serves for the coupling of the asynchronously operated power grids of Thailand and Malaysia and went in service in June 2002.[1] The HVDC connection Thailand–Malaysia is a monopolar 300 kV overhead line with a maximum transmission rate of 300 megawatts. The terminal of the HVDC is situated east of Gurun at 5.8125°N 100.535°W. The inverter hall is designed as Chinese style building.[2]

The connection is being integrated into the wider ASEAN Power Grid project, to better create a regional electricity market in Southeast Asia for embers of ASEAN.[3] [4]
