Articles: 471. Off-grid wind energy is gaining popularity as more individuals and communities seek sustainable solutions for their energy needs. Harnessing the power of wind can provide a reliable source of renewable energy, reducing dependence on traditional grid systems and lowering carbon emissions. If you''re considering an off-grid wind
Construction Updates. Sunrise Wind has started the first phase of onshore construction. Below is the full construction timeline for working occurring onshore, a map of the route, and frequently asked questions. We will be making continuous updates to
Step 1:From sea to shore. The first stage of making landfall is for a cable to run from the seafloor to a location a short distance inland. To put this cable in place, a hole is drilled using a technique called horizontal directional drilling. The hole starts in a small pit behind the dunes or a beach, and is then bored using a drill rig machine.

The project substation is planned to connect to the 356S Milo substation, located north of Lomond in the grazing leases. Meteorological Tower : Two temporary towers have been erected for the development of the project to measure wind speed and direction.
Floating offshore wind is opening new possibilities for wind power locations and will play a critical role in the transition to a cleaner energy supply, contributing significantly to an increase in offshore wind power. Floating offshore wind capacity is projected to almost 270 GW by 2050, as per DNV''s 2023 Energy Transition Outlook (ETO) research.
An offshore wind substation acts as the central hub for collecting, transforming, and transmitting the electricity produced by the offshore wind turbines. Located far out at sea,
The substation is located 14 kilometres from the Sussex coast. The main role of the substation is to transform the electricity generated by the turbines from 33 kilovolts (kV) up to 150 kV. It also houses electrical components at the heart of the wind farm including transformers, switchgear and control systems, as well as auxiliary equipment
To efficiently transport 250GW of renewable energy from sea to shore, offshore substations are required. These substations collect the wind energy (AC) from
At its core, a subsea substation is essentially a subsea transformer with a primary purpose – to increase voltage before transporting power to the shore and the grid, thereby reducing transmission losses, much like high-voltage lines on land. Furthermore, it serves as a hub for efficiently collecting power generated by multiple wind turbines
Electrical substations have an utmost importance in electric distribution facility (see video explanation here), converts AC voltages from one level to another level or change nature of supply voltage i.e., from AC to DC or vice versa. The general layout of a substation consists of conductors that run along the entire substation.
Offshore substations are dedicated platforms that collect energy generated from offshore wind farms and transfer it to shore through an AC or DC export
Step 3: Underground transmission to the substation. The onshore substation transforms power generated by an offshore wind farm to the correct voltage before delivering it to the local grid, after which it can be sent to thousands of households and businesses. Before building an onshore substation, we undertake extensive environmental, technical
Vineyard Wind 1 is expected to deliver first power before the end of this year and, once completed, the 806-MW facility will generate renewable energy to power homes and businesses in Massachusetts. "Offshore wind in the U.S. is one step closer to becoming a reality," said Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO. "Our team''s dedication, expertise
Distribution Substation: These substations are located closer to the end-user, in residential neighborhoods, commercial areas, or industrial parks. Distribution substations transform the high voltage from transmission levels to lower voltages (between 2,400 and 33,000 volts) that can be safely distributed to homes, offices, and other facilities.
In general terms, the following key factors should be considered to choose the optimal place for an offshore wind power plant substation: The size and shape of the
Created and designed by Arup, the industry recognised ACE platform is capable of lifting and lowering up to 13,000te offshore, making it a viable option for a substation. The
HydePoint is developing an offshore hydrogen-producing substation that will utilise wind resources more efficiently. Placed in the ocean near wind farms, HydePoint can convert all or part of the wind energy into hydrogen. This will reduce the need for upscaling the power grid both to and on land. "HydePoint is a complete solution for
Floating substations and floating wind turbines offer a solution, which can be used in deeper waters, vastly increasing the available global capacity for developing offshore wind energy. Yet floating systems come with their own challenges: over their entire lifetime they are constantly in motion and can be exposed to vibrations and shocks from waves up to
Substation design architecture requires dependable communication protocols like IEC 61850, DNP3, or Modbus for interoperability, data integrity, & cybersecurity. This post covers the principles of electrical substation design, including key concepts, components, and concerns for efficient and dependable power distribution
Avangrid''s Vineyard Wind 1 offshore substation will collect power generated by the project''s 62 wind turbine generators and bring it to the onshore power grid through two export cables. Vineyard Wind 1 is expected to deliver power before the end of this year and, once completed, the facility will generate 806MW of clean, renewable
Ingleside, Texas – May 25, 2023 – In the latest milestone for the growth of the U.S. offshore wind supply chain, offshore wind joint development partners Ørsted and Eversource today marked the "sail away" of the first American-built offshore wind substation, which departed a Texas fabrication facility yesterday.
6 · Floating wind turbines are situated far from the shore, meaning we could see the first floating substations in the early 2030s," said Petra Manuel, senior offshore wind analyst at Rystad Energy.
August 25, 2021 – In a major milestone for the growth of the U.S. offshore wind supply chain, offshore wind joint development partners Ørsted and Eversource announced today the commencement of the first American-built offshore wind substation, which will be deployed at the developers'' South Fork Wind project serving New York''s Long Island.
Offshore substations are often delivered as one element of a contract to connect the wind farm generating assets to the onshore transmission grid. An HVAC substation topside
Offshore wind turbines send energy via subsea cables to an offshore substation. Cables laid deep beneath the beach then transfer that energy from offshore substations to onshore substations. For Ocean Wind 1, energy from subsea cables will be transferred via transmission line to two onshore converter stations being constructed at the Peck Bay
