Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox power transmission line BritNed is a 1,000Шаблон:NbspMW high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) submarine power cable between the Isle of Grain in Kent, the United Kingdom; and Maasvlakte in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

The BritNed interconnector would serve as a link for the foreseeable European super grid project.

Шаблон:Legend Шаблон:Legend Шаблон:Legend See also the List of HVDC project in Europe, which would eventually be part of European Supergrid

The project was announced in May 2007.[1] The installation of the first section of cable link started on 11 September 2009,[2] The entire Шаблон:Convert cable was completed in October 2010.[3] It began operation on 1 April 2011,[4][5] and as of January 2012, electricity flow has mostly been from the Netherlands to the UK.[6]

Technical description

The Шаблон:Convert long bi-pole 450Шаблон:NbspkV interconnector consists of two HVDC cables, which are bundled together. The capacity of the cable is 1,000Шаблон:NbspMW. The interconnector has two converter stations for connecting the link with the British and Dutch high-voltage electricity transmission systems.[7] The cable was produced by ABB and laid by Global Marine Systems, while the BAM Nuttall/Siemens consortium was responsible for the construction and equipping of the converter stations.[7][8] BritNed was completed on time and within the budget of €600Шаблон:Nbspmillion.[5]

Operators

The respective transmission system operators of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands - National Grid plc and TenneT; formed a joint venture to fund and operate the interconnection, independently from National Grid and TenneT's regulated businesses.[9]

Outages

BritNed has suffered a number of outages due to undersea cable faults in 2020/21. A significant outage happened on 9 March 2021 and was scheduled to be restored on 8 May 2021, but later delayed until 7 June 2021.[10]
