Offshore grid connections

Integrating renewable energy sources and decarbonizing existing electricity infrastructure are key to meeting society’s energy needs while fighting climate change. Yet, these contributions to more carbon-neutral energy take place in remote areas often hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away from the centers of consumption. Effective solutions are vital to connecting all distributed power generation sources to the grid to make electricity available where it is really needed.

Offshore renewables

Renewables such as wind power (on- and offshore) play an increasingly important role in the energy mix and contribute considerably to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.

Siemens Energy supplies the entire range of products and services to turnkey solutions required for efficiently harnessing the power of offshore renewables and getting the energy to the end consumer. This includes wind turbines and complete grid access solutions in HVAC and HVDC technology as well as monitoring and control solutions and operation and maintenance services.

Offshore electrification

Worldwide lowest emissions in offshore oil and gas production with offshore electrification solutions.

Increasingly also Oil & Gas companies are energizing their offshore installations by the means electrical energy.

Our HVDC and HVAC solutions supply industrial offshore sites efficiently with clean and reliable power. Siemens Energy's HVDC and HVAC grid access and power supply solutions have proven their superior performance, reliability and availability in numerous projects all over the world - in the harshest climates.

Floating substations

Floating offshore wind opens the door to larger and deeper offshore areas with higher wind potential. Siemens Energy offers optimum floating substation solutions for the connection of floating offshore windfarms to the grid or floating power from shore to open the next frontier for renewables.

From small modular HVDC power from shore applications, or floating HVAC substations, up to full-scale +1 GW floating HVDC solutions, Siemens Energy can offer a lean and innovative floating substation solution for the most challenging environments, based on long-term proven high-voltage technology, and optimized for minimal environmental impact.

With clean air GIS solutions, ester-insulated transformers and closed cooling systems, the Siemens Energy floating OSS offers a valuable and sustainable grid connection for the future of floating windfarms.

There are many challenges to be faced in today’s energy world that is fundamentally changing at a rapid pace. Electricity must come from renewables such as wind and solar power. Power generation must be as carbon-neutral as possible. The distance between power producers and consumers is increasing because renewables resources like offshore wind farms are further away from consumer centers. Grid capacity is growing as fossil power generation is gradually shutting down.

This swiftly-advancing energy transition demands major changes to power grids, making it crucial to stabilize existing, strained grids to ensure continuously reliable operation. Guaranteeing security of power supply and consequently the security of reliable operation of such critical infrastructure is a matter of utmost priority. And while digitalization enables new technologies and solutions, it comes with the burdens of cybersecurity.
