Offshore Substation - Power Transmission

POWER TRANSMISSION
- OFFSHORESUBSTATIONS
Only through innovation the demand for clean
power generationcan bemet.
Within the last decade, the erection

of offshore wind farms has gone
from pioneering to becoming an
industrialised process. This
development is made possible
through accumulated experiences
in Ramboll and by managing the
Engineering, Procurement and
Contracting (EPC) process.
At Ramboll we have more than 25

years of experience in the offshore
sector, designing substations to
offshore wind farm substations as
well as oil & gas production. Our
success is based on a close
coorporation with our clients,
ensuring that the design meets all
requirements.
Ramboll competences
An offshore substation represents
the vital part of the infrastructure
for an offshore wind farm.
At Ramboll we can provide multidiscipline services by embracing a

coordinated effort within the
RAMBOLL GROUP A/S
following business areas:

Structural design
Mechanical and
electricalinstallations
High-voltage distribution
(distribution and transmission
level)
Low-voltage distribution (LVAC,
LVDC, UPS)
Substation automation and
platform supervision
Subsea cables
Onshore substations
Electrical infrastructure
When designing the substation, we
have our focus on the process
installations, required to operate an
offshore wind farm.
We provide a professional
consultancy service to our client by
implementing requirements from
various stakeholders, i.e. the wind
farm operator, the transmission
system operator (TSO or OFTO)
etc.in the design forthe HV layout
as well as in the substation
automation configuration.
During the erection phase Ramboll

can deliver engineering
competences for establishing
communication infrastructure,
vessel tracking monitoring systems
as well as people registration and
offshore people tracking.
During the construction phase of

the platform itself, Ramboll can
provide competent supervision and
commissioning teams, to ensure
that the platform is fully tested and
operational before load out.

TAKING A HV SUBSTATION OFFSHORE IS A DESIGN CHALLENGE

At Ramboll we utilize our experience to meet opposing
requirements between the cost of size and considerations
allowing easy installation and service conditions.
When designing an offshore substation, our focus is on the

process requirements given from the wind farm as one
producing unit. At Ramboll we utilize our many years of
experince to keep this focus.
Designing a substation for our client is not only a

substation project. For Ramboll it is to participate in the
construction of a wind farm. We contribute proactively to
contribute to a successful project execution.
An offshore substation represents an interface point of

gravity. Ramboll offers a proactive interface handling
supporting our client on a technical level as well as
coordinating contractual splits.
Electrical design
Substation automation
Taking an HV substation offshore is

a design challenge. The main HV
components on a platform influence
the design of the platform, as well
as increasing the requirements for a
ruggedness with regardto the
components as well as the electrical
layout.
Ramboll has expert knowledge in all
aspects of electrical design and
project execution within the
following areas:
Electrical layout (Single Line
Diagram)
Grid connection
Transient stability and harmonic
analyses
HV distribution (GIS)
Main and Aux. transformers
Relay coordination
LV systems (LVAC, LVDC, UPS)
Earthing system
For simulation of the electrical

design we usePowerFactoryDIgSILENT or Paladin Designbase
Substation automation is a critical

function of an offshore substation,
sincethis system transmits vital
data between utility and the TSO,
which is a part of the condition to
operate the wind farm.
Ramboll provides consultancy

services independent of third party
interests. We offer a wide-ranging
service covering:
Design and specification of
substation automation
Logical and physical network
design
Electrical panel design
Optical fibre layout
Fire detection andextinction
The network and optical fibre

design represent a complex
interface between all deliveries and
the client's internal network. In
close cooperation with the client
Ramboll can coordinate the physical
as well as logical interfaces.
Communication and site

supervision
Depending on the client
requirements or national legislation,
Ramboll can offer consultancy
services on specification,
procurement and installation of site
supervision and communication.
The following scope of supply is
normally considered:
Radio communication (VHF,
TETRA)
Vessel Traffic Monitoring System
(VTMS)
Meteorological (MET)
Line Of Sight (LOS)
Depending on the scope, integrated

solutions can be provided covering:
Radar coverage
People tracking, including site
access control
Cameras
