Offshore wind farms:
Installation and testing of electrical infrastructure
Date: 9.11.2021
Time: 3 pm CET - 9 am EST - 9 pm SGT

Offshore wind farms are an important part of the energy transition. In our first session in the fall of 2021, we want to talk about the experiences from the UK and Germany with the installation of wind farms in the North Sea and Baltic Sea. One important point is the complexity of installing the basic infrastructure, here the OSS platform - Offshore Substation - and the wind turbines are crucial. To interconnect the wind turbines, offshore array cables are required to collect the power from the wind turbines and connect it to the platform. Operating voltages here go up to 66 kV, and even higher voltages will be needed in the future. A special focus is on testing the electrical components and systems, e.g. with our new 80-kV resonance test system, which is suitable for offshore testing in all weather conditions. A prerequisite for successful work is safety - given by high-quality equipment and the personal attitude of the highly qualified employees on the high seas.
