TenneT has awarded the contract for the converter stations at sea and on land, to the McDermott and GEIRI/C-EPRI consortium for the 235-kilometer-long offshore grid connection system BorWin6. The second cable lot for the cable between the two stations will follow in summer 2022.
Within the consortium, the focus of McDermott will be on the converter stations. Global Energy Interconnection Research Institute Co. Ltd. (GEIRI) & C-EPRI Electric Power Engineering Co. Ltd. (C-EPRI), in turn, will focus on electrical engineering.
TenneT connects the wind turbines directly to TenneT's offshore platform BorWin kappa via 66-kilovolt three-phase cables. This eliminates the need of transformer stations that were previously necessary in each and every wind farm. A record length of 190 kilometers of subsea cable will be used in the connection system.
