The generators of the power plant are connected to the power grid in a somewhat unusual way, since the machine transformers of the generators serve also as the inverter transformers of the static inverter plant of HVDC Volgograd-Donbass, which is on the dam.
In a somewhat unconventional arrangement, the generators of the power plant are connected to the grid. The machine transformers within these generators double as the inverter transformers for the HVDC Volgograd-Donbass static inverter plant, located on the dam.
