GKK Etzenricht, Power conversion station in Etzenricht, Germany.
The GKK Etzenricht facility contained two static inverters with 432 thyristors each, housed in a 13-meter high hall covering 430 square meters.
Construction of GKK Etzenricht began in April 1991, achieved first power in May 1992, and operated officially from July 1993 until October 1995.
The facility represented German engineering excellence in power transmission technology, connecting electrical networks between Germany and the Czech Republic.
The station enabled power transmission of 600 megawatts through a single-circuit 380kV power line connecting Etzenricht to Hradec in the Czech Republic.
After decommissioning in 1995, the facility components remained in storage until 2006 when an Austrian recycling company acquired them for dismantling.
