In cooperation with British cable manufacturer JDR, PFISTERER has received the order for the delivery of CONNEX cast resin joints and CONNEX plug connectors for up to 72.5 kV for the networking of the new East Anglia ONE (EA1) wind farm
For the first time, two sister platforms in an offshore wind farm will be connected by means of a bridge system with the aid of a new, flexible high-voltage cable with a conductor cross section of 800 mm 2. This increases the guaranteed energy feed-in for the wind farm operator.
As offshore wind farms are being constructed on an ever-growing scale and increasingly being connected in ring configurations of high-performance turbines, the power that must be transmitted between the turbines and the substation is also rising.
The Connex dry-type, pluggable connection system can now be used for high voltages up to a maximum of 550 kV.
In the latest prototype twin-blade turbines in the HUSUM wind test field and in the largest North Sea Wind Farm, Global Tech I the PLUG connection system from Pfisterer ensures safe power transmission in the low voltage range.
