The wind farm is made up of 2 parts, each with its own substation. Substation KFA is installed in the western part of the wind farm with a total capacity of 200 MW. The eastern part, where substation KFB is installed, will have a total capacity of 400 MW. The KFB substation will also serve to support the KFE module and be part of the so-called ‘Combined Grid Solution project’ run by Danish Energinet.dk. The ‘Combined Grid Solution’ connects the Danish and German high-voltage grid via 2 offshore wind farms; From the Danish Kriegersflak via the German Baltic 2 and Baltic 1 to the 50 Herz onshore grid, in a later phase the Swedish high-voltage grid may also be connected. The project has been funded to the tune of €150 million by the European Energy Programme for Recovery.
Hollandia Offshore and Denmark’s Energinet.dk signed an engineering, procurement and commissioning contract for the 3 substations in May 2016. Subcontractor Croonwolter&dros is responsible for the design, procurement and installation of the utility systems such as the low-voltage systems, fire-fighting systems and HVAC.
