Baltic Eagle Offshore Wind Farm

The Iberdrola group will build its second major wind power project in the Baltic Sea (Baltic Eagle). Located 30 kilometers northeast of the island of Rügen, off the coast of Pomerania (Germany) this new 476 megawatt (MW) facility will supply renewable energy to 475.000 households.

The offshore substation the central hub whose function is to collect the electricity produced by the wind turbines and transform the voltage from 66 kV to 220 kV, will be operated by 50 Hertz the transmission system operator in northeast Germany and responsible for connecting the offshore wind farm to the grid, and will be used jointly by the two companies.

SOLUTION PROPOSED BY THE DELVALLE ENGINEERING TEAM

This installation poses many challenges that we must solve, as it is an area of high effort to subject the electrical cabinets to strong currents of air and salinity of the sea, also wanted to be accessible quickly with locks and hinges.

The cabinets chosen are Luxor Series wall-mounted cabinets made of AISI 316L stainless steel, which meet all the customer's requirements, allowing to protect the components from possible deterioration due to the salinity of the sea environment, and with great accessibility and speed in case of manipulation of the electrical components inside.
