Wind Energy – China
Chinese power cable manufacturer Orient Cable has been awarded two new export cable contracts in its home country, one of which involves the supply of a 500 kV line for what the company says is the longest offshore distance in China’s offshore wind so far.
Yesterday, Orient Cable (NBO) said that, in a consortium with China Southern Power Grid, it was awarded an EPCI contract for a 500 kV extra high-voltage AC (EHVAC), offshore wind subsea cable with a transmission capacity of 1 GW for a project in Guangdong Province, China, developed by Energy China.
The contract includes 2 circuits, 91km of 500kV HVDC 2500mm² export cables, covering supply, design, engineering, manufacturing, transportation, installation, and pre-commissioning.
This project addresses the critical technical challenges of long-distance, large-scale centralized power transmission for offshore wind energy, further driving advancements in marine power transmission technology.
