Seatrium Ltd. has been notified by the Dutch nationwide electrical energy transmission system operator TenneT that it intends to start out work on a 3rd two-gigawatt (GW) excessive voltage direct present (HVDC) electrical transmission system on June 1, 2024.
Seatrium stated in a media launch that the discover from Tennet is beneath its five-year framework cooperation settlement it secured with the operator. Beneath the settlement Seatrium and its consortium associate GE Vernova signed with Tennet, the corporate will provide three HVDC electrical transmission methods for offshore wind farm initiatives within the Netherlands, every valued at roughly $2.16 billion (EUR 2 billion), with a complete mixed capability of 6.0 GW as a part of TenneT’s offshore grid acceleration program.
Seatrium stated its scope of labor will embrace engineering, procurement, development, transportation, set up and commissioning for the two.0 GW HVDC offshore converter platform for TenneT.
The offshore converter platform will contribute to TenneT’s sustainability ambition of putting in 40 GW of offshore wind power within the German and Dutch North Seas, and can serve the NWBE (previously named as Nederwiek 2) offshore wind farm, positioned roughly 59 miles off the coast of Netherlands, Seatrium stated.
Like the primary two HVDC initiatives awarded to Seatrium final March, Seatrium will probably be working with its consortium associate, GE Vernova’s Grid Options. The contract award of NWBE is anticipated to be on June 1, 2024, after the completion of sure deliverables by each Seatrium and GE Vernova within the coming months.
“This undertaking underscores our dedication to serving to our prospects obtain their renewable power objectives by offering revolutionary and cost-effective options that assist speed up the power transition. With this newest undertaking, Seatrium is at the moment engaged on 5 HDVC offshore Converter Platforms, making a franchise for series-built alternatives in HVDCs to attain larger synergies from undertaking repeatability”, Samuel Wong, govt vice-president for mounted platforms, stated.
Seatrium stated, “Amongst renewable power sources, offshore wind continues to play a big position in assembly world local weather objectives”.
“It’s estimated that Europe would require an enormous improve in wind put in capability with an anticipated development from 204GW in 2022 to greater than 500GW in 2030 alone”, it added.
