LINKING GROWTH TO SUSTAINABILITY
Prominent in the wind and solar markets within
the renewable energy sector, Prysmian Group
is the world leader in connections for offshore
wind farms. It acts as a one-stop supplier to major
projects, and has developed state-of-the-art
products and technologies that include cables for
wind turbines, inter-array cables, and cables for
mainland connections.
In addition to its involvement in major projects
in recent years throughout Europe, particularly
in the United Kingdom, the Group entered
a contract with TenneT, an operator of electricity
grids in Germany and the Netherlands, for the
SylWin1 project to link offshore wind farms
in the North Sea to mainland Germany.
The SylWin1 project follows the BorWin2 and
HelWin1 projects and it exceeds the significant
milestones already set by BorWin2. The project
involves a longer DC cable connection and is the
highest-ever rated system for VSC technology
with a power rating of 864MW operating at the
highest commercially available voltage level of
± 320kV DC.
Among other projects in which we have been
involved in the field of both HVDC power
transmission and offshore wind parks are some
of the largest developments worldwide, such
as Walney, Ormonde, Gunfleet Sands, Thanet
and Greater Gabbard in the UK, as well as Alpha
Ventus, Deutsche Bucht and DolWin3 in Germany.
