Key player in installation of sea cables connecting wind farm turbines/substation (inter-array scope included).
ABB was identified as one of the key parties involved in the installation of sea cables for the Princess Amalia (Prinses Amaliawindpark/Q7) offshore wind farm during the construction period. The project comprises 60 turbines connected by in-field (inter-turbine) electrical strings converging at an offshore high-voltage station, and the referenced installation activity covered sea-cable works linking project electrical infrastructure. Within the wind farm electrical system, subsea array cables connect turbines to each other and to the offshore substation. ABB’s involvement in sea-cable installation therefore relates to the execution of submarine power-cable installation activities required to establish the inter-array network, such as in-field cable lay and associated installation support. The cited project summaries place these cable installation works in the 2007 timeframe, aligning with the broader construction schedule described for foundations, turbine installation, and grid connection completion. No contract value, exact cable lengths supplied/installed by ABB, or detailed package boundaries were provided in the cited material. The role is nevertheless explicitly linked to the named project and to subsea cable installation activities within the wind farm’s electrical infrastructure, which includes inter-array cabling connecting turbines and the offshore high-voltage station.
