Offshore Substations
� Electricity produced by the turbines is
transmitted by subsea array cables to the offshore substations
� Substations house the high and medium
voltage electrical components for transformation of the 33kV voltages produced by the wind turbines to 150kV export voltage
� Two export cables transmit the electricity from
the substations to the shore � Substations also house control rooms,
emergency accommodation and workshops

Marine Export Cables
Export Cables • The marine export cables will connect the offshore substations the landfall point. • Three core 150kV cables with fibre optics.
Export Cable Installation • Cables will be laid and ploughed to burial depth approx 1.5-2m below the sea bed.
17
Array Cables
Array Cables • Connect the wind turbines to each other and to the offshore substations. • 150mm2 (33kV) and 500mm2 3 core submarine cable. Array Cable Installation • Cables are loose laid on seabed and pulled into the transition piece through external j-tubes or internally thorough holes in the monopiles • The cables are buried by jetting or ploughing techniques. • All cables will be buried at a target depth of 1.5m under the sea bed.

Offshore construction supply chain opportunities � Major offshore construction activities over a two year period to install and
commission the wind turbines, foundations, subsea cables and offshore substations
� As well as the major installation vessels, many smaller vessels will be required, e.g. guard boats, etc
� Ancillary and support services for installation vessels. e.g bunkering, etc
� Specialist services for offshore works, e.g. diving services, etc
� Experience on other projects shows local suppliers will be required to support construction base activities, e.g plant hire, etc
� Further details of the offshore contracts and potential opportunities in the afternoon ‘Offshore Balance of Plant’ focus group
