Siemens has installed a fourth offshore platform in the North Sea, completing an important stage for grid connections of sea-based wind farms.
This is the platform for the SylWin1 DC link. The newly installed SylWin1 platform with a capacity of 864 megawatts (MW) and located 70 km to the west of the island Sylt, after which the project was named, will concentrate the wind power produced by the three North Sea wind farms Dan Tysk, Butendiek and Sandbank and transmit the electricity to land.
