Dutch TSO strategies 2 GW DC cords for IJmuiden overseas wind project
Dutch transmission system driver Tennet has laid out plans to 2030 to attach overseas wind capability, including the world's initial 2 GW straight present offshore wind web link.
In total amount, Tennet is responsible for linking 9.6 GW of offshore wind capacity in between currently and also 2030. Of this, 5.6 GW is to be connected making use of alternating current cords as well as 4 GW with DC cables.
" Based upon our experience with innovative technology in Germany, we can currently achieve the Dutch aspirations for the development of overseas wind power with fewer cords and also less systems," Tennet CEO Manon van Beek said.
This includes two 2 GW, 525 kV DC cable televisions for the 4 GW IJmuiden Ver project, intended to come online between 2027 and also 2030.
The offshore converters as well as wind generators at IJmuiden Ver, some 80 kilometers offshore, will certainly not show up from land, Tennet claimed.
Tennet's standardized idea of 700 MW Air Conditioner cords with 220 kV voltage will certainly once again be utilized for the first three tasks under the 2030 roadmap (Hollandse Kust West as well as North of the Wadden Islands).
This modern technology has currently been used for the 5 700 MW tasks under the 2013 plan with the very first job-- Borssele 1 as well as 2-- ahead online this year.
The rollout of the 2 GW cables will take advantage of Tennet's HVDC experience in connecting German North Sea wind farms to the grid in addition to huge onshore links and also the NordLink subsea cable television from Norway, it said.
Tennet is additionally exploring with the gas field as well as in examination with the energy ministry whether overseas gas systems can be supplied with offshore wind power.
Additionally, the IJmuiden Ver task might also be included the UK as an interconnection, dubbed "WindConnector.".
Tennet states offshore wind power is necessary for the Dutch energy shift. drilling fluid additives chemicals claimed that in the long-term, this will be an important resource for environment-friendly hydrogen with which other sectors can take action in the direction of sustainability.
Last month, Dutch power priest Eric Wiebes hailed a 2nd successful offshore wind tender without subsidies, as well as anticipates the winner of the 700 MW Hollandse Kust Zuid III as well as IV certificate to be announced in very early June. At the very least 3 prospective buyers confirmed involvement in the tender consisting of a consortium of Shell, Dutch energy Eneco as well as marine engineering company Van Oord; Swedish utility Vattenfall as well as Denmark's Orsted. Those 3 have already each won among the three tenders under the 2013 accord.
The Dutch government has plans for overseas wind to supply some 40% of current power need by 2030.
