Recently, Siemens of Germany and the European subsidiary of Sumitomo Electric J-Power get connected, Belgium, and the UK HVDC submarine cable project Nemo link engineering technology and supply contracts.
Specifically, Siemens Nemo link submarine cable project provides HVDC technology system and J-Power is responsible for the design, manufacture, production and installation of HVDC XLPE insulated rubber cable.
It is reported that Nemo link is directly connected to the south-east of England Kent and northwest Belgium Hong City Zerbe Helly submarine power cable, about 130 kilometers in length, is by the State Grid Corporation of England and Belgium transmission system operator Elia group common development and operation, power transmission capacity to reach 1000 megawatts to meet 50 million household electricity demand.
Siemens power transmission to solve the solution business executive Tim Dawidowsky said, "we are very pleased to be able to provide support for the undersea rubber cable project HVDC technology, this is Siemens HVDC history in Europe and a major project."
Nemo link HVDC submarine cable project is regarded as the single European energy market construction of key projects, it to strengthen the European energy security support for renewable energy development, especially offshore wind power integration plays a crucial role. This is the British submarine cable connected to other European countries the third submarine power cable.
According to the plan, Nemo Link HVDC submarine cable will be put into operation in 2019. By then, will greatly ease the tension with electricity, while driving the demand for the submarine cable market.
