Aker Solutions Awarded Major Offshore Wind Contract
Aker Solutions Awarded Major Offshore Wind Contract
July 19, 2021 - Aker Solutions, as part of a consortium, has signed a major[1]
EPCI contract with an undisclosed customer to provide the HVDC (high-voltage,
direct current) transmission system for a large offshore wind project. More
details about the project is expected to be announced by the customer and its
partners during the third quarter of 2021.
For Aker Solutions, the scope will involve engineering, procurement,
construction and installation (EPCI) of an offshore HVDC converter platform.
This platform will consist of a steel jacket substructure and a topside platform
deck housing the electrical equipment. Work will start immediately with
installation planned to start in the second half of 2024 and final deliveries in
the second half of 2025.
In an offshore wind project, the role of an offshore HVDC platform is to collect
the AC power generated by the wind turbine generators (WTGs) and convert it to
DC before transmission through an export cable to the project's onshore
converter station and grid connection system.
Aker Solutions will book about NOK 3 billion as order intake related to this
award in the third quarter of 2021, in the Renewables and Field Development
segment.
[1]Aker Solutions defines a major contract as being NOK 3.0 billion and above.
