PFISTERER supports TenneT with direct current connection – DolWin kappa offshore platform successfully installed
Within TenneT’s DolWin6 network connection project, the DolWin kappa offshore platform was successfully installed off the coast of Lower Saxony. In future, it will transform the alternating current (AC) from three wind farms from 155 kV to 362 kV and subsequently to 320 kV direct current (DC) and then transmit it to land almost without losses. For this, the platform is the first to have gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). This was preceded by the successful high voltage testing of the HV installation by PFISTERER in Cádiz, Spain. The transmission network operator TenneT is once again using PFISTERER’s CONNEX inner cone high voltage fittings.
