SSE Renewables and Vestas have selected the Seanex inner cone system by Pfisterer to connect more than 100 10MW wind turbines in the Seagreen project in the Western North Sea.
Pfisterer is supplying Seanex joints as well as preassembled and tested cables with Seanex connectors for the construction. Each of the more than 100 Vestas V164-10MW turbines will be connected using Seanex accessories. The joints and preassembled cables link the submarine cables to the gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) in the tower of the turbines. Seagreen offshore wind farm, a joint venture between SSE Renewables and Total, is currently under construction 27 km off the Angus coast.
