CASE STUDY
Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm is a huge offshore
wind farm currently under construction in the North
Sea 25 kilometres (22 miles) off the Suffolk coast. In the
onshore substation for the site a total of three of Sollatek’s
automatic voltage regulators control the power supply.
The wind farm lies off the Suffolk coast and is located upon two sand
banks, known as Inner Gabbard and The Galloper. When completed
Greater Gabbard will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm with
up to 140 turbines that can generate over 500 megawatts, enough
to power 415,000 homes.
Each turbine is mounted on a steel monopile that sits in water
depths of between 24 and 34 m.  There are two offshore substation
platforms, housing electrical switchgear and transformers to step
up the voltages from 33,000 volts to 132,000 volts. Three sub-sea
cables will bring the power ashore to a new onshore substation
located near Leiston in Suffolk, where it will be connected to the
national grid via existing power lines. The Sizewell B nuclear power
station is close by.
Greater Gabbard is currently being developed by Scottish and
Southern Energy (SSE) in a joint venture with the RWE npower
renewables company. Offshore construction work is continuing and
the development is on course for final completion in 2012.

The Sollatek AVR Range
™
The Sollatek range of Automatic Voltage Regulators covers single and three phase applications.
From small domestic (250 watt) to large industrial 500kVA applications, single and three phase applications,
the Sollatek range of voltage regulators is your solution in the most erratic of power conditions.

Regulated power output
Sollatek have supplied and commissioned three of its Automatic
Voltage Regulators (AVRs) to provide a reliable, regulated
supply to power the onshore substation’s control equipment
and ancillary appliances. The new substation has three auxiliary
133,000 volts to 400 volts step down transformers connected to
a three-phase Sollatek AVR3x600 voltage regulator, rated at 600
amps per phase.
Only one of these auxiliary step-down transformers will be in
operation at any one time, with the remaining two acting as
switchable primary and secondary back ups. The Sollatek AVRs
regulate the 400 volt three phase supply to the site’s LVAC
distribution board.
All Sollatek AVRs employ high performance solid state
technology, which not only makes them ultra-fast at correcting
voltage variations but also much less expensive than other
stabiliser technologies, such as those that use mechanical
systems. The compact design also means that they are virtually
maintenance free and offer a longer operational lifetime.
Leading technology
By using microprocessor technology, Sollatek AVRs can rapidly
detect voltage variations and correct the output to ensure a
steady supply. They allow a very wide input range (from -30% to
+22%of the nominal voltage level) and have a voltage correction
speed of 1250 V per second.
Sollatek are a world leader in the field of voltage regulation
and protection, So wherever the electrical supply is erratic
or unreliable, Sollatek has the ideal solution for protecting
industrial, commercial or domestic installations.

Power control for vast north sea offshore wind farm - Case Study

  • 1. CASE STUDY Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm is a huge offshore wind farm currently under construction in the North Sea 25 kilometres (22 miles) off the Suffolk coast. In the onshore substation for the site a total of three of Sollatek’s automatic voltage regulators control the power supply. The wind farm lies off the Suffolk coast and is located upon two sand banks, known as Inner Gabbard and The Galloper. When completed Greater Gabbard will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm with up to 140 turbines that can generate over 500 megawatts, enough to power 415,000 homes. Each turbine is mounted on a steel monopile that sits in water depths of between 24 and 34 m.  There are two offshore substation platforms, housing electrical switchgear and transformers to step up the voltages from 33,000 volts to 132,000 volts. Three sub-sea cables will bring the power ashore to a new onshore substation located near Leiston in Suffolk, where it will be connected to the national grid via existing power lines. The Sizewell B nuclear power station is close by. Greater Gabbard is currently being developed by Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) in a joint venture with the RWE npower renewables company. Offshore construction work is continuing and the development is on course for final completion in 2012. Sollatek (UK) Limited, Unit 10, Poyle 14 Newlands Drive, Poyle, Slough SL3 0DX. United Kingdom.

Case Study - AVR Gabbard Wind Farm April 2010 Artwork ID: 10910078 Stock No: 00039908 Source: SSE RWE, Installation of turbines SSE RWE, Energy Trading Centre Regulated power output Sollatek have supplied and commissioned three of its Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVRs) to provide a reliable, regulated supply to power the onshore substation’s control equipment and ancillary appliances. The new substation has three auxiliary 133,000 volts to 400 volts step down transformers connected to a three-phase Sollatek AVR3x600 voltage regulator, rated at 600 amps per phase. Only one of these auxiliary step-down transformers will be in operation at any one time, with the remaining two acting as switchable primary and secondary back ups. The Sollatek AVRs regulate the 400 volt three phase supply to the site’s LVAC distribution board. All Sollatek AVRs employ high performance solid state technology, which not only makes them ultra-fast at correcting voltage variations but also much less expensive than other stabiliser technologies, such as those that use mechanical systems. The compact design also means that they are virtually maintenance free and offer a longer operational lifetime. Leading technology By using microprocessor technology, Sollatek AVRs can rapidly detect voltage variations and correct the output to ensure a steady supply. They allow a very wide input range (from -30% to +22%of the nominal voltage level) and have a voltage correction speed of 1250 V per second. Sollatek are a world leader in the field of voltage regulation and protection, So wherever the electrical supply is erratic or unreliable, Sollatek has the ideal solution for protecting industrial, commercial or domestic installations.
