Onshore Cable Pulling Starts At Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm
September 6th, 2021
Cable Pulling & Laying
Work is underway to pull cabling through 19.5 kilometres of underground ducts which will connect the GBP 3 billion Seagreen Wind Farm to the Scottish National Grid.
The cable pulling is the latest stage in the cable installation process and another milestone in the construction of the 1,075MW 114-turbine development 27 kilometres off the coast of the county, which when operational, will power up to 1.6m homes throughout the country.
Once finished, the cabling will reach from where the project makes landfall in Carnoustie to a new dedicated substation currently under construction in Tealing.
Onshore Electrical Infrastructure Project Manager, Steven Reid from SSE Renewables is responsible for the cable installation project.
”The start of the cable pulling process marks an important achievement in the delivery of the onshore electrical transmission infrastructure following significant efforts from the Project Team and the support of various stakeholders,” Reid said.
”Again, I‘d like to express our thanks to all who live along the route for their co-operation and understanding as the project has progressed up to this stage of delivery. Working with our Contractor Nexans, we now look forward to continue to deliver the installation of the 19km of cabling safely and with the least amount of disruption possible to the surrounding community.”
Electrical Arc Flash Protection for Offshore Wind Farm WorkersSeagreen is a joint venture between SSE Renewables and Total.
First power at the wind farm is expected by early 2022 with full power coming on stream in 2022/23.
Seagreen selected Montrose Port as the home for the operations and maintenance base for the 114-turbine development in October 2019.

Superconducting Cable Systems – The Future?

Cable Systems
Superconducting cables could be the answer to distribution challenges in offshore wind.
Achieving submarine power transmission with low loss and high capacity is vital for the future of renewable energy. But recent breakthroughs have relied on high-voltage direct current, making them useless anywhere low voltage is mandatory. Superconductors can transmit electricity efficiency with much lower voltage and power requirements.
Now SuperNode has teamed up with Irish research institute MaREI on a superconductor project that could enable up to 10x faster offshore renewable development worldwide.
The idea is to provide a single superconductor connection for offshore renewable energy sources. It would deliver electricity back to shore efficiently via medium voltage direct current, using a subsea superconductor to move power from energy-dense areas offshore to high-demand areas onshore.
SuperNode CEO John Fitzgerald says the technology could be a game-changer for the industry and help Europe achieve its carbon-cutting targets.
While superconducting cables have been operating onshore in places like Germany and Korea for years, current onshore cable systems are not fit for offshore use or for the amounts of power needed to support a renewable grid. This is why SuperNode is developing its new Subsea Superconducting Cable System.
Leading certification body DNV GL has now awarded the system its coveted Statement of Feasibility, making it the first subsea superconductor system to receive such an award in the world. The next step for SuperNode will be to deliver a scale prototype this year.

Why Large Offshore Wind Farms Should Double Their Intra-Array Voltage

Offshore Wind Farms
Offshore wind farms are now the biggest contributor of green energy to the National Grid. But the cost of installing and running them is problematically high – and the race is on to solve that problem as the 2050 net-zero deadline looms closer.
Could pumping up the intra-array voltage from 33kV to 66kV be the answer?
A Carbon Trust study found that increasing to either 48kV or 66kV would cut costs and increase yields over the life cycle of a wind farm. Of the two, 66kV brought the bigger benefits.
While 33kV is the most practical choice for wind farms at present, it means the power has to be stepped up to a much higher voltage like 110kV at an offshore substation for transmission in the UK. This generates massive costs in cabling and substations, which are often remote and difficult to access.
Higher voltage array technology should not only cut these costs but also boost efficiency by preserving more of the energy the wind farms generate.
The Carbon Trust predicts that switching to 66kV could reduce the cost of offshore wind power by 1.5%. To encourage this, it launched a competition to fast-track the development of 66kV cables, “The Race for 66kV”, awarding funding to three winning companies, Prysmian, Nexans and JDR.
Phil de Villiers, the Carbon Trust’s Head of Offshore Wind, said higher voltages could increase transmittable power by over 100%, and also make it possible to develop much larger arrays with more turbines per array.
Developers are already showing interest, including major players like Eon, RWE Innogy, ScottishPower Renewables, Dong, Statkraft, Vattenfall, SSE, and Statoil.
