Under wpd’s leadership, GE/Alstom supplied the high-voltage and medium-voltage electrical equipment for the offshore transformer platform serving the Nordergründe project. Following the insolvency of the original platform manufacturer BVT Bremen, GE/Alstom acted as a key subcontractor to complete the remaining works on the offshore substation. Their scope covered delivery of the electrical systems required to transform and export power from the Nordergründe offshore wind farm into the German grid via the Nordergründe AC grid connection. This contribution formed a critical part of readying the more than 2,000-tonne offshore transformer platform for installation and subsequent commissioning in 2017.
