Offshore Marine Management (OMM) has successfully completed six of eleven cable pull-in operations under its new ‘Tower Support Services’ package. The package, which was formed to provide clients with a clearly defined set of support services, also includes hang-off as well as termination and testin
EWE will have to make an unscheduled shutdown of its 108MW Riffgat offshore wind farm in September. A cable connecting the wind farm to the grid was affected during the work on Dolwin converter station, and, according to TenneT, the cable will need to be stabilised. Given that the cable did not suff
Grid operator in Germany, TenneT, is seeking contractor to conduct an unexploded explosive ordnance (UXO) survey, identification and removal on the cable route BorWin3 in the German sector of the North Sea. The planned BorWin3 submarine cable connection is a DC power transmission link with a length
After Fundy Ocean Research Center for Energy (FORCE) published a photo of ongoing works on an onshore electrical infrastructure, Offshore WIND contacted the Center to find out more about this phase of the project. The photo shows the installation of the last cable vaults, which will house the shore

At the Cigré conference in Paris, Siemens today presented the first compact gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) for high-voltage direct current applications. Within the framework of the energy transition, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission is gaining in significance as it allows low-loss tra
Siemens has released a video about the BorWin beta platform, which will transform the alternating current (AC) supplied by wind turbines from two offshore wind farms, Veja Mate and Global Tech 1, before converting it to the same voltage of direct current. Check out the following video and find out m
Florida-based company AML Superconductivity and Magnetics has been selected as one of fifty leading second-stage companies selected from approximately 600 nominations statewide, as this year’s class of Florida Companies to Watch.
