Together with Prysmian, Siemens Energy is to connect a wind farm in the North Sea to the mainland power grid for the transmission system operator Transpower. Prysmian will provide the cable connection.
The volume of the order for the consortium as a whole amounts to approximately € 500 million. The Nordsee-Ost wind farm will be connected to the mainland via submarine cables using high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission technology. The wind farm is located about 85 kilometres offshore to the northwest of the island of Helgoland. The grid connection will have a transmission capacity of up to 576MW. Siemens will be supplying a Voltage Sourced Converter (VSC) system using Siemens HVDC Plus technology to transport the wind-generated power to the mainland.
