German Bight

The German Bight (Deutsche Bucht; tyske bugt; Duitse bocht; Dútske bocht;; sometimes also the German Bay) is the southeastern bight of the North Sea bounded by the Netherlands and Germany to the south, and Denmark and Germany to the east (the Jutland peninsula).

High-voltage direct current

A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system uses direct current (DC) for electric power transmission, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) transmission systems.

See HVDC BorWin1 and High-voltage direct current

HVDC BorWin1

HVDC BorWin1 is the first HVDC facility in the world to be built for importing power from an offshore wind park to shore, and the first to use voltage source converters (VSC) in Germany. HVDC BorWin1 and HVDC BorWin1 are 2009 establishments in Germany, electric power transmission systems in Germany, Electrical interconnectors in the North Sea and HVDC transmission lines.

HVDC converter

An HVDC converter converts electric power from high voltage alternating current (AC) to high-voltage direct current (HVDC), or vice versa.

See HVDC BorWin1 and HVDC converter

HVDC converter station

An HVDC converter station (or simply converter station) is a specialised type of substation which forms the terminal equipment for a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line.

See HVDC BorWin1 and HVDC converter station

Insulated-gate bipolar transistor

An insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is a three-terminal power semiconductor device primarily forming an electronic switch.

See HVDC BorWin1 and Insulated-gate bipolar transistor

International Council on Large Electric Systems

The International Council on Large Electric Systems (CIGRE) is a global nonprofit organisation in the field of high voltage electricity.

Offshore wind power

Offshore wind power or offshore wind energy is the generation of electricity through wind farms in bodies of water, usually at sea.

See HVDC BorWin1 and Offshore wind power

Oil platform

An oil platform (also called an oil rig, offshore platform, oil production platform, etc.) is a large structure with facilities to extract and process petroleum and natural gas that lie in rock formations beneath the seabed.

See HVDC BorWin1 and Oil platform

Pulse-width modulation

Pulse-width modulation (PWM), also known as pulse-duration modulation (PDM) or pulse-length modulation (PLM), is any method of representing a signal as a rectangular wave with a varying duty cycle (and for some methods also a varying period).

See HVDC BorWin1 and Pulse-width modulation

Shipyard

A shipyard, also called a dockyard or boatyard, is a place where ships are built and repaired.

See HVDC BorWin1 and Shipyard

SSCV Thialf

The SSCV Thialf is a huge semi-submersible crane vessel operated by Heerema Marine Contractors; it was the largest crane vessel in the world until the became the largest in 2019.

See HVDC BorWin1 and SSCV Thialf

TenneT

TenneT is a transmission system operator in the Netherlands and in a large part of Germany.

See HVDC BorWin1 and TenneT

Thyristor

A thyristor is a solid-state semiconductor device which can be thought of as being a highly robust and switchable diode, allowing the passage of current in one direction but not the other, often under control of a gate electrode, that is used in high power applications like inverters and radar generators.

See HVDC BorWin1 and Thyristor

Vlissingen

Vlissingen (Vlissienge), historically known in English as Flushing, is a municipality and a city in the southwestern Netherlands on the former island of Walcheren.
