5 525kV systems are effective solutions able to connect power generation areas such as wind generation-rich regions to major consumption centers, typically located far from renewable energy sources, reducing the required land usage and ensuring lower environmental impact. 525 kV XLPE submarine cable systems are also successfully developed and tested according to International Standards. This breakthrough innovation will enable a massive increase in the transmission capacity of Bipole systems of up to 2.5 GW, which is almost twice the value achieved with 320 kV DC systems currently in service. This is key to connecting huge amounts of green energy to the grid such as next generation offshore windfarms. The pace at which renewable power needs to be connected each year has to increase to meet challenging targets set worldwide to lower carbon emissions: increasing the power each link can transmit is the only way to deploy the needed energy infrastructure in time. The company leveraged on extensive and in-depth knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes, successfully optimizing the industrial process while keeping reliability and guaranteeing strict technological parameters. An entire system of submarine cable and accessories - including flexible factory joints, rigid repair joints and sea-land joints - with the best dielectric properties was successfully developed and is now available on the market. Prysmian Group wanted to take things a step further confirming its role and commitment in the development of power grid infrastructure, empowering its customers in the continuous effort towards the energy transition to reach the EU 2050 goal of having 300 GW of offshore wind power and also reducing infrastructure costs for the benefit of energy bills and final consumers. TRANSMISSION CAPACITY up to 2.5 GW A CONTINUOUS EFFORT TOWARDS THE ENERGY TRANSITION
