"Dry docks" You win a project "Offshore wind energy" In Germany

DUBAI, 16 December, 2017 (WAM) – Drydocks World, in partnership with GE Vernova, announced that it has won a huge project to construct and install the 2 GW Ost Wind 4 offshore wind power plant, which will supply energy to nearly two million homes in Germany. By Hertz 50, the operator of the energy transmission system in eastern Germany, which includes the cities of Berlin and Hamburg.
According to a statement issued today, the project represents a major step in Germany’s commitment to renewable energy.
The Ost Wind 4 wind energy project in the Baltic Sea will be connected to the national electricity grid, using the latest 525 kV high-voltage direct current technology, for the first time in Germany, to establish new standards of efficiency in long-distance energy transmission.
The project is located 30 kilometers northeast of Rügen Island, and includes the construction of marine and land electricity conversion stations and a 110-kilometer continuous electrical cable system linking land and sea.
Drydocks World, a subsidiary of DP World, will manage the engineering, supply, construction and installation of the superstructures and foundation structures for the wind energy conversion stations.
The upper part will be manufactured at Drydocks World – Dubai, incorporating advanced equipment designed and manufactured in Europe, and upon completion, the platform will be transported and installed in German territorial waters.
GE Vernova will supply HVDC technology, including voltage transformers, buses, SF6 gas-free isolation switches, onshore transformer station civil works, and grid automation equipment.
His Excellency Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of DP World Group, said: “This project reflects DP World Group’s continued commitment to its mission to support the transition to clean energy and economic growth, and Drydocks World is contributing to the project.” Ost Wind 4 plays an important role that confirms its technical excellence and commitment to developing a modern sustainable energy infrastructure. With the development witnessed by the global energy sector, we maintain our firm commitment to employing our expertise and capabilities in innovation to support energy transition initiatives. Clean and economic development.
For his part, Dr. Captain Rado Antolovic, CEO of Drydocks World, said that this achievement confirms the firm commitment to innovation and sustainability, sets new standards for offshore wind energy projects, and enhances global efforts to build a more sustainable future. The project is also considered “a model of the power of international cooperation in Promoting renewable energy solutions.
For his part, Stefan Kapferer, CEO of 50Hz Transmission, said that outsourcing this project to General Electric Vernova and Drydocks International represents the beginning of a new chapter for the uses of wind energy in the Baltic Sea, and 50Hz is the first transmission system operator. Energy uses 2 GW/525 kV technology in this offshore area, representing a pioneering achievement for the company.

He stressed his company’s keenness to benefit from all the technical and economic potentials of offshore wind energy in the Baltic Sea, relying primarily on high-voltage direct current technology.
For his part, Philippe Perron, CEO of the electrification business of General Electric Vernova, said that the project represents an important milestone in the company’s journey towards electrification and decarbonization, relying on clean energy capable of protecting the world. It also confirms the importance of offshore wind energy in ensuring European energy security. And accelerating the global transformation in the field of energy, by taking advantage of the company’s advanced technology for transmitting high-voltage direct current.
