Offshore wind is the next frontier for the development of

wind power. Large wind farms can be constructed in areas

that are remote from centres of population and where strong

persistent winds exist. Turbines of up to 5 MW and above

have rotor dimensions far larger than the largest wingspansof existing commercial planes.

The potential for offshore wind seems unlimited. In the

European North Sea alone, offshore wind powers potential is

set to reach 2,600 TWh by 2020, equal to between 60% and

70% of projected electricity demand. Offshore wind installed

capacity is expected to exceed 45 GW in 2020. Increasingly,

connecting such wind farms to the grid requires the

installation of an offshore electrical substation, a challengethat Alstom Grid has risen to enthusiastically.

HVDCMaxsinFor offshore wind farms that are remote (>50 km) from

the coastline, direct current often provides the best

techno-economic solution for transmission of power to the

shore. For this purpose, Alstom Grid has developed the

HVDC MaxSine technology, which combines its extensive

knowledge of HVDC systems and Voltage Source Converters,

using chain link (or multi-level) technology.

Maxsin technologyEach link (or level) in the converter consists of a DC capacitor and an IGBT switch.

By switching in the correct sequence, the VSC can generate a voltage waveform ofcontrolled magnitude and phase angle. This gives the MaxSine converter the ability to

control the power ow from the wind farm to the onshore network and also control the

reactive power ow on both sides of the HVDC system.

Key benets of HVDC MaxSine soution

Precise control of real and reactive power

Compact site area, which is well adapted to offshore platforms

No harmonic ltering is required

Standard grid transformers can be used

Able to operate down to zero MW power ow

Able to black start the offshore station

Ideal for multi-terminal applications due to the ability to block DC side faults

Suitable for hybrid applications with classic LCC HVDC interconnectors

Ratings of HVDC MaxSine

Scalable technology able to operate up

to 300/320 kV using XLPE cables, or up

to 500 kV using MIND cables

DC current rating up to 1250 A

hV air-inulatd equipmentAlstom Grid manufactures a complete range of high voltage air-insulated equipment,

up to 1100 kV: live and dead tank circuit breakers, disconnectors (centre break,

vertical break), current and voltage transformers. If space is a constraint, we have

developed a cost-effective compact switchgear, the Hypact, combining disconnectors,

current transformers and a circuit breaker in a single SF6 insulated tank (one module

per phase). Non-conventional instrument transformers (optical) are also available.

Onshore wind is one of the most ancient and mature

renewable energy technologies. Successful wind generation

needs integrated, exible systems that can cope with difcultoperating conditions and stringent standards.

Reactive power and harmonics are the

most important parameters for grid

owners, while frequency range, voltage

unbalance and voltage range are the

primary parameters inuencing wind

turbine operation. On the other hand, real

power loss optimisation inside the wind

farm is critical to developers and owners.

It is crucial to take into account grid

code requirements, network dynamics at

the interconnection point and wind farm

characteristics in order to design the

right reactive power compensation and

harmonic ltering system.

Our range of services includes initial

feasibility studies, load surveys, system

modelling, design, manufacture,

installation and commissioning. Our

products include:

Low and high voltage capacitor banks

Reactors (air-core and iron-core)

SVC MaxSine (STATCOM)

we provide soutions for:

Grid interconnection standards

Power factor correction Voltage control

Active harmonics ltering

Flicker phenomena mitigation

Unsymmetrical load balancing

Asset management and preventive maintenance

Our services range from exclusive framework contracts to

full-scope maintenance programmes and remote monitoring,

including erection and commissioning, scheduled inspections and

replacement parts programmes.

Corrective maintenance

To minimise the impact of unscheduled emergency maintenance,

a spare parts stock can be stored at the wind farm, or a

conveniently located warehouse. Our local presence combinedwith our global expertise helps you solve problems fast.

Predictive maintenance

Alstom Grid offers predictive maintenance such as oil analysis, vibration

measurements, thermographs etc., which anticipate potential, slowly-

developing issues, not detectable in normal operation.

Training

Our customised training programmes help your employees

handle your operations more effectively. Our hands-on courses

for hands-on application enable your staff to apply their new

expertise from day one. Most training programmes are certied

by national institutions and carry the ISO 9001 Certication.
