East Anglia THREE Offshore Windfarm


What‘s involved? An onshore converter station is required to convert the direct current into alternating current in order to connect the offshore windfarm to the National Grid. As well as the converter station hall(s), the converter station compound would contain: • Electrical equipment (e.g. power transformers, switchgear)


• Control buildings • Access • Fencing.


Converter station


Space would also be required for the High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) equipment to link the converter station to the existing National Grid equipment at Bramford.


The maximum dimensions of the converter station compound would be 150 metres (width) x 190 metres (length). The maximum height of the converter station hall would be 25 metres.


The project team will be working with landscape architects to ensure the building is sympathetic to local architecture and that a suitable planting scheme is proposed to provide screening.
