GK Wien–Southeast, HVDC station in Southeast Vienna, Austria.
GK Wien-Southeast is an electrical conversion station located on Vienna's southeastern edge. The facility uses transformer technology to exchange power between different electrical networks and allows the connection of distinct systems across long distances.
The station was built in the 1990s to connect Austria's and Hungary's power grids. It played an important role in stabilizing electricity exchange between the two countries.
The preservation of one harmonic wave filter from the original station serves as a technical monument, displaying the evolution of electrical infrastructure in Austria.
The site is located in an industrial area on the edge of the city and is not easily accessible. Visitors should keep in mind that this is an active industrial facility that may require prior permission to enter.
The facility employed specific transformer configurations that differentiated it from other HVDC stations, such as the one in Etzenricht, Germany.
