A new partnership between Linxon and its parent companies Hitachi ABB Power Grids and SNC-Lavalin/Atkins has been launched to develop floating electrical substations for the coming international fleet of deepwater wind farms.
The tie-up, which aims to marry the technical expertise of Hitachi ABB and Linxon in the area of alternating current offshore power technology with the engineering skills-set of SNC-Lavalin/Atkins in naval design, will target “modular, scalable, compact substation packages”, including transformers and high-voltage switchgear.
