Australia-Asia PowerLink
- Location: Barkly region, Australia
- Budget: $20 billion
- Contractor: Bechtel
- Subcontractor: Kuwait Construction
- Land acquisition: Project required the acquisition of approximately 1,300 parcels of land, totaling over 10,000 hectares.
Sun Cable’s AAPowerlink will support both governments’ energy transition goals while transforming the region’s economy by creating a renewables export and import industry. The project will also lead to greater investment opportunities, thousands of direct and indirect job opportunities in Australia, Singapore, and Indonesia, and the growth of clean energy industries and technologies. As the world’s highest per capita solar resource in the G20 and the second highest in the world, Australia is ideally positioned to export large volumes of cheap renewable energy, worth up to AUD2 billion per year for the economy.
Construction
The Australia-Asia PowerLink project represents a groundbreaking initiative in the realm of energy infrastructure, poised to reshape the regional power landscape. Envisioned as a colossal undertaking, the project aims to establish a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission link that connects the abundant renewable energy resources of Australia to the rapidly growing energy markets of Southeast Asia.
For the purpose of traversing the enormous expanses of the ocean below, the building of this transcontinental power link requires the utilization of modern technologies. This technology includes converter stations that are at the cutting edge of technology as well as advanced submarine cable systems.
Technology Used
The Australia-Asia PowerLink project demonstrates a convergence of advanced technologies and sustainable practices in the energy sector, emphasizing efficient and environmentally conscious energy transmission. At its core, the project employs high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission technology, utilizing converter stations equipped with state-of-the-art power electronics. This technology ensures reliable energy transmission over vast distances, addressing the challenges associated with connecting power networks across diverse geographical terrains.
A pivotal component of the PowerLink initiative is the deployment of submarine cable systems, facilitating seamless and reliable energy transmission underwater. This technology overcomes geographical barriers and optimizes the efficiency of power delivery, enhancing the project's capacity to connect energy resources from Australia to the Asia-Pacific region.
