The wind farms will be connected with AC cables to an HVDC Light converter station installed on an offshore platform in the North Sea. The turbine-generated power will be transformed there and transmitted via a 75 km long DC undersea cable, then a further 90 km long land cable to an onshore HVDC converter station at the grid connection point. The HVDC Light system from ABB has a total capacity of 800 MW at ±320 kV.
