Siemens Energy Wins Its Largest Offshore Grid Connection Deal Ever
HVDC is the future for long (especially one to one connections) for transmission lines and this is a lot of constant wind power. Hoping this becomes the future in America on our East and West coasts sooner than later.
Siemens Energy Wins Its Largest Offshore Grid Connection Deal Ever
Siemens Energy has won what it says is the largest offshore grid connection order in the company's history. The order, made by Amprion Offshore, will see Siemens Energy supply two offshore wind power converter platforms at sea DolWin4 and BorWin4, and two associated stations on land. The platforms convert alternating current, as produced by wind turbines, into direct current. The direct current is then transferred to a high-voltage direct current transmission cable (HVDC cable) for transport. A second converter station on land then converts the electricity back into alternating current.
