On March 10, 2022, a consortium composed of State Grid Smart Grid Research Institute Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of State Grid Corporation of China, NARI Group CLP Power Engineering Co., Ltd. and McDermott Corporation of the United States, and TenneT, a European transmission grid operator Germany signed the BorWin6 offshore wind power flexible DC transmission project converter station contract.

On March 10, a consortium composed of State Grid Smart Grid Research Institute Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of State Grid Corporation of China, NARI Group CLP Power Engineering Co., Ltd. and McDermott Corporation of the United States signed a contract with TenneT, a European transmission grid operator, in Germany. BorWin6 offshore wind power flexible DC transmission project converter station contract.

BorWin6 Offshore Wind Power Flexible DC Transmission Project The offshore wind farm is located in the German North Sea. It is currently the largest wind power grid-connected project in the region with a rated voltage of ±320 kV and a rated capacity of 980,000 kW, including 235 kilometers of land and marine lines. , 190 kilometers of submarine cables and 45 kilometers of land cables, which are scheduled to be put into operation by the end of 2027.

Previously, a consortium composed of State Grid Intelligence Research Institute, Purui Engineering, and McDermott Corporation of the United States won the bid for the BorWin6 offshore wind power flexible DC transmission project converter station project. State Grid Intelligence Research Institute and Preh Engineering are responsible for the electrical design and analysis of the DC transmission system, the supply of electrical equipment, and the on-site commissioning of the DC system. McDermott is responsible for the design and construction of the offshore platform and onshore converter station. This signing marks that the company's flexible DC transmission technology with independent intellectual property rights and high-end electrical equipment such as DC converter valves have the world's leading core competitiveness, and is an important achievement of the company's promotion of technology, standards and equipment integration It is of great significance to the high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative and the deepening of China-EU green energy cooperation.

Flexible HVDC transmission technology is a new generation of transmission technology with the highest flexibility and adaptability in the world, and an important technical means to support energy transformation and the construction of new power systems. Since 2013, the company has actively deployed and carried out research on offshore wind power flexible and direct technology, and has achieved profound technical accumulation in system access, customized development of DC equipment, and complete engineering design. With the support and guidance of the company, since 2017, the State Grid Intelligent Research Institute has carried out technical cooperation and business negotiations with European power grid companies, and has participated in and won the technical demonstration and preliminary design projects of several flexible DC projects in Europe.

At the signing ceremony, McDermott Company introduced the basic situation of the BorWin6 offshore wind power flexible DC transmission project, and representatives of TenneT Company, McDermott Company and the company consortium made speeches respectively. Editor / Zhao E
