HVDC Three Gorges – Changzhou River using tall pylons. The electrode at Chujiahu is also used by HVDC Hubei - Shanghai for grounding. HVDC Three Gorges – Changzhou The HVDC Three Gorges – Changzhou is an long bipolar HVDC transmission line in China for the transmission of electric power from the Three Gorges power plant to the area of Changzhou. The transmission line went into service in 2004. It runs from the static inverter station, Longquan, away from the Three Gorges power plant to the static inverter plant, Zhengping, near Changzhou. The HVDC Three Gorges-Changzhou is a bipolar 500 kV powerline with a maximum transmission
Three Gorges with terrain lowering gradually from south to north. The western and eastern parts of the area, between the southern mountains and Bashan Mountain (), in the north, are comparatively lower; and in the past, the river flowed to the east through the region.
