ABB bags order for offshore wind power connection
02 August 2011: ABB bagged order worth around $1 billion (approx Rs 4,450) from the Dutch-German transmission grid operator TenneT to supply a power link connecting offshore North Sea wind farms to the German mainland grid.
ABB will deploy the HVDC (high-voltage direct current) system with a rating of over 900 MW, keeping electrical losses to less than 1 per cent per converter station. ABB will design, engineer, supply and install the offshore platform, the offshore and onshore converter stations and the land and sea cable systems. Once completed, the link will be capable of supplying more than 1.5 million households with clean wind-generated electricity.
