The Construction of the High Voltage Offshore Substation (OHVS) THOR for RWE Officially Started with the Steel Cutting Ceremony at the HSM Offshore Energy Shipyard.

At the end of December, the construction of RWE’s THOR offshore wind farm began off the Danish west coast, approximately 22 km from Thorsminde, on the Jutland coast. The wind farm will utilize the innovative high voltage offshore substation (OHVS) THOR, being constructed by HSM Offshore Energy in Schiedam, Netherlands, along with its subcontractors Iv-Offshore & Energy and GE Renewable Energy. This substation is the nerve center of the project, collecting electricity produced by individual wind turbines and converting it into transmission voltage. With a capacity of over 1,000 megawatts (MW) and a total weight of less than 3,000 MT, the THOR offshore substation represents a significant advancement in the offshore wind market, offering the best CA power-to-weight ratio in the industry’s history, while also reducing the use of structural steel and the energy required during manufacturing.

RWE will also build two new substations to connect the THOR offshore wind farm to the Danish grid – one offshore and the other onshore. With this project, the company is marking a new milestone in green electricity generation in Denmark, as the THOR offshore wind farm will be the largest in the country to date and will be able to produce enough green electricity to supply the equivalent of over one million Danish households. The offshore substation, along with the onshore substation, will ensure the efficient transmission of green electricity, contributing to the advancement of maritime wind energy in the country.

Thor from RWE: Offshore Wind Farm Highlighting the Transition to Green Energy

The RWE Thor offshore wind farm, located on the west coast of Denmark, is being developed to become one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world. The green energy produced by offshore wind farms plays a crucial role in the transition to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.

The construction of the offshore wind farm is underway, with the steel cutting ceremony for the first wind turbines already held. The high voltage offshore substation, to be supplied by HSM Offshore Energy, will play a key role in the electrical infrastructure of the park.

The offshore substation, a jacket manufactured by Iv-Offshore & Energy, will connect the wind turbines to the mainland, where the green electricity will be integrated into the power grid. GE Renewable Energy supplied the wind turbines for the park, ensuring an ideal CA power-to-weight ratio.

The engineering contract, acquisition, construction, installation, and commissioning (EPCIC) for the RWE Thor offshore wind farm was awarded to a specialized team, ensuring that the park is designed openly and efficiently. In addition to the offshore wind farm, an onshore substation is also being constructed to receive and distribute the generated green electricity.

With a planned installed capacity of over 800 MW, the offshore wind farm in Thorsminde will provide clean energy for hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses in the region. The inauguration of the RWE Thor offshore wind farm is expected to significantly contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions in Denmark and across Europe.
