The 155 kV submarine cable connecting the DolWin kappa to the Gode Wind 3 offshore wind farm in the German North Sea, roughly 32 km northwest of the island of Norderney within cluster 3, has been installed and terminated by China-based ZTT Submarine Cable & System.
Tekmar's cable protection system (CPS) guards the 16-kilometer-long underwater cable.
After being manufactured at ZTT's facility in Nantong, China, the cable system was shipped to Europe. The cable-laying work was completed by the Greek subcontractor Asso.subsea.
ZTT and European grid operator TenneT signed the Project Acceptance Certificate (PAC) for the Gode Wind 3 EPCI project alongside installing the subsea cable.
“Our team successfully wrapped up installing and terminating the 155 kV underwater cable that connects the OWF Gode Wind 3 to the DolWin Kappa offshore converter platform, according to the company's post. Our adequately planned and carried-out work has been complimented by TenneT, highlighting yet another project successfully delivered to our valued customer.“
Gode Wind 3, an offshore wind farm with a capacity of 253 MW, is now under development and should be commissioned this year. The international energy corporation Ørsted, based in Denmark, owns it.
The DolWin Kappa offshore HVDC converter platform comes equipped with transformers, converters, safeguards, and switchgear and is intended for use at ocean depths of about 29 metres.
The DolWin Kappa high-voltage direct current (HVDC) converter station in the German North Sea and the associated DolWin6 320kV onshore grid connection in Emden/East (Lower Saxony), Germany, will link the wind farm to TenneT's extra-high-voltage grid.
