By 2014, Prysmian Group had completed installation of the cable systems for TenneT’s SylWin1 offshore HVDC grid connection in the German North Sea, including the 155 kV HVAC submarine cables linking the SylWin1 converter platform to the DanTysk, Butendiek and Sandbank offshore wind farm transformer platforms, as part of a €280 million project executed over the 2012–2014 period. The completed system uses Prysmian’s extruded HVDC cable technology together with Siemens’ HVDC Plus converters to form an 864 MW, ±320 kV link of about 205 km (160 km offshore and 45 km onshore) between the offshore assets and the onshore converter station at Büttel in northern Germany.
