GE Grid Solutions was selected to renovate and upgrade Konti‑Skan pole 1 (Konti‑Skan 1), whose original 1960s mercury‑arc HVDC converter system was nearing the end of its design life. Under this contract GE supplied new state‑of‑the‑art thyristor valve technology and fully renewed the pole 1 converters at Vester Hassing in Denmark and Lindome in Sweden, upgrading Konti‑Skan 1 to match the power rating and performance of pole 2 and revitalising the entire power‑exchange link between the two countries.
