GK Wien–Southeast, HVDC station in Southeast Vienna, Austria.
The GK Wien-Southeast facility contains two converters in a single building, enabling power transmission between different electrical networks through high-voltage direct current technology.
From 1993 to 1996, this installation connected Austrian and Hungarian power grids with a maximum transfer capacity of 600 megawatts at 142 kilovolts.
The preservation of one harmonic wave filter from the original station serves as a technical monument, displaying the evolution of electrical infrastructure in Austria.
Located at coordinates 48.1227°N 16.4183°E, the station utilized four three-phase transformers for efficient power conversion between alternating current networks.
The facility employed specific transformer configurations that differentiated it from other HVDC stations, such as the one in Etzenricht, Germany.
