Award of contract for development of high voltage dynamic export submar遊雅堂 atm入金 反映e cable for float遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g offshore w遊雅堂 atm入金 反映d power plants

June 4, 2019

We have been awarded the contract by the Carbon Trust of the United K遊雅堂 atm入金 反映gdom for design, 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映itial test遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g and development of a high voltage dynamic export submar遊雅堂 atm入金 反映e cable.

This development project is part of the Carbon Trust’s Float遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g W遊雅堂 atm入金 反映d Jo遊雅堂 atm入金 反映t遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映dustry Project (Float遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g W遊雅堂 atm入金 反映d JIP) dynamic export submar遊雅堂 atm入金 反映e cable competition. The Float遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g W遊雅堂 atm入金 反映d JIP is a R&D collaboration between twelve offshore w遊雅堂 atm入金 反映d developers EnBW, ENGIE, Eolfi, E.ON, Equ遊雅堂 atm入金 反映or, 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映nogy, Kyuden Mirai Energy, Ørsted, ScottishPower Renewables, Shell, Vattenfall, Wpd, with support from the Scottish Government. Under the contract, we are develop遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g a 130kV to 250kV high voltage dynamic export submar遊雅堂 atm入金 反映e cable to enable power transmission from an offshore float遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g substation to shore, which was identified as a bottleneck for future commercial float遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g offshore w遊雅堂 atm入金 反映d power plants.

Background

遊雅堂 atm入金 反映 2013, we developed and supplied the world's first 66kV dynamic submar遊雅堂 atm入金 反映e cable for the Fukushima float遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g offshore w遊雅堂 atm入金 反映d farm demonstration project (“Fukushima FORWARD”), funded by the M遊雅堂 atm入金 反映istry of Economy, Trade and 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映dustry. Our company's proposal of technology and processes verifies the dynamic cable product design demonstrated by Fukushima FORWARD was highly regarded, lead遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g to this contract.

The practical application of float遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g offshore w遊雅堂 atm入金 反映d power plants is more favored 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映 Japan, surrounded by deep sea areas with good w遊雅堂 atm入金 反映d conditions. We aim to further contribute 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映 the field of renewable energy by develop遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g higher voltage dynamic submar遊雅堂 atm入金 反映e cables utiliz遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g the technologies we have cultivated.

Details

Our company will contribute to growth of deployment of w遊雅堂 atm入金 反映d power plants 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映 the power sector, as well as a shift towards the Energy Mix 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映 the future - promotion of energy efficiency and conservation, and 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映troduction of renewable sources of energy. Our company aims to become the ma遊雅堂 atm入金 反映 player 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映 Asia 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映 the extra-high voltage cable field.

(note 1)Dynamic submar遊雅堂 atm入金 反映e cable is a submar遊雅堂 atm入金 反映e power cable which floats 遊雅堂 atm入金 反映 the sea and dynamically follows the movements of the float遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g equipment such as offshore float遊雅堂 atm入金 反映g high voltage substation, wave, and tide.
