Study on Grid Connection Infrastructure for First Offshore Wind Farms in India Published

Comprehensive Power Evacuation Study

This conceptual study explores the power evacuation infrastructure requirements for two proposed offshore wind scenarios—one in Gujarat and the other in Tamil Nadu.

The study addresses key components necessary for successful power evacuation:

  • Offshore Substation: Serving as the collection point for electricity generated by the wind turbines, stepping up voltage for efficient transmission.
  • Export Cable: The underwater cable that transports electricity from the offshore substation to the shore.
  • Landfall Arrangement: Infrastructure facilitating the transition from marine to terrestrial power systems.
  • Onshore Power System Infrastructure: Connecting the offshore-generated power to the national grid through transformers and substations.
