Impact Action 1. Other EAwindfarms cost. Array cables
EA1 intends to use latest technology ~66 kV AC array cables, with associated ~66kV protection and switchgear. [2.16.1]
All supply chain investment for EA1 will benefit future EA projects, directly or indirectly by increasing competition and reducingmanufacturing cost.
Transmission
If the HVDC option is selected ,the project will be the first commercial use of HVDC technology in a UK offshore windfarm, so any contracts will significantly further develop the supply base and drive competition relevant to the UK for offshore HVDC substations and remove a barrier for the whole industry. [1.1.1]
All supply chain investment for EA1 will benefit future EA projects, directly or indirectly by increasing competition and reducingmanufacturing cost. Future EA projects are anticipated to use HVDC transmission technology.
The experience gained deploying the HVDC converter platformand AC collector stations on EA1 will provide valuable learning to informthe approach being taken regarding
ANNEX 6
Although there are few UK projects planned in the short-term that are anticipated to use HVDC transmission, as experience grows, costs will fall andmore projects will use it. Eventual
Similar benefits translate to other SPR/Vattenfall projects.
2. Other offshore windfarms owned by SPR/Vattenfall
3. Offshore windfarms owned by others
4.Wave and tidal projects owned by SPR/Vattenfall
5.Wave and tidal projects owned by others
6. The wider low carbon generation sector
As for Column 2. As for Column 2. As for Column 2.
Little benefit available.
Use is likely to be limited to for wave farms well into the future.
As for Column 4.
HVDC technology is an enabler for transmitting large-scale renewable generation round Europe.
