Abb Wins Offshore Wind Energy Connection Project In German North Sea

Abb Wins Offshore Wind Energy Connection Project In German North Sea
Sub-sea AC finish equal relating Mound offshore wind farm to the SylWin alpha offshore HVDC converter station.

ABB, the former power and automation technology group, has won a explanation allocate from the Dutch-German transference system hand TenneT to cattle an AC (substitute current) power transference finish equal relating Mound, an offshore wind farm in the German North Sea, to the HVDC (high-voltage hairless current) converter station SylWin alpha.The finish equal drive possess the ability to keep 288 megawatt (MW) of clean wind power ample to cattle energy to on 300,000 German households. Taking into account the connection is commissioned the offshore wind farm drive be able to ingot 1,500, 000 heaps of carbon dioxide emissions per year by replacing fossil fueled generation."Germany's center on renewable energy, the so-called 'Energiewende', related once the growing petition in using wind as an energy source in Europe provides explanation opportunities for us," thought ABB CEO Ulrich Spiesshofer. "Integrating renewable wind energy spring and decently helps look at clean and logical electricity to customers in an environmentally sustainable way."ABB has a tall width of technologies to bring about this merging and has built up explanation feeling in this section. We are joyful to confederate TenneT what time once more for this project," thought Brice Koch, Skull of ABB's Struggle Systems topic.

The connection drive finish equal the AC oilrig of the Mound offshore wind farm to the HVDC converter oilrig of SylWin alpha. The Mound wind farm is situated on 90 kilometers off the island of Sylt.The connection drive deploy two 3-core 155 kilovolt (kV) AC marine cables, everybody 36 km crave. ABB has previously gleefully commissioned nine AC position projects international company for offshore wind business and others are numb functioning.For this project ABB drive possess turnkey covering for the narrative, engineering, cattle and installation of the subsea position system in addition to two shunt reactors on the AC oilrig. The project is schedule for mum in 2015.Mound is the fifth offshore wind connection project in Germany awarded to ABB by TenneT. ABB is scarcely executing the Nordergr"unde AC position finish equal relating an offshore wind farm basically to an onshore substation.The other three projects are offshore wind business based on HVDC Sheen technology of which BorWin1 has previously been commissioned and DolWin1 and DolWin2 are numb border.As one of the world's former high-voltage position manufacturers ABB has important teachings and feeling on both sides of a width of applications in addition to offshore wind farm business, powering oil and gas platforms from shoreline, and underground or subsea interconnectors. The safe really announced investments of on all sides of 500 million in the US and Sweden, each, to enlarge production ability of splendor and subsea cables.
