Contract Awarded for First HVDC Link Between Great Britain and Denmark
Denmark
l
The Viking Link wil enable the exchange of up to 1400 MW of electricity to provide increased power-supply reliability and security to consumers in both countries.
Siemens has been awarded a contract to deliver two converter stations for the first high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) link between Great Britain and Denmark. The Viking Link will enable the exchange of up to 1400 MW of electricity to provide increased power-supply reliability and security to consumers in both countries. By allowing transmission to flow in both directions, the Viking Link will support the integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid.
The interconnector is being jointly developed by National Grid Ventures (Great Britain) and Energinet (Denmark) via National Grid Viking Link Ltd. and Energinet Eltransmission A/S. The Viking Link is scheduled to begin commercial operation at the end of 2023.
The order comprises a 1400-MW converter system for a dc voltage of ±525 kV using HVDC Plus technology. The two converter stations — one in Bicker Fen in Lincolnshire (Great Britain), the other in Revising in southern Jutland (Denmark) — will be linked by a 767-km long dc power cable passing through the North Sea. The Viking Link will be one of the world's longest dc electricity interconnectors. Siemens will be responsible for the overall system design, supply, installation, and commissioning of the converter stations.
