Coordination Commissioning Stations SOL / Electrical Engineering - Energy Technology

Project overview

The SuedOstLink (SOL) is a central infrastructure project for the energy transition in Germany. It comprises a state-of-the-art, almost 535-kilometer-long high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line, primarily realized as an underground cable between Wolmirstedt (Saxony-Anhalt) and Isar (Bavaria). The program is jointly managed by 50Hertz and TenneT and consists of two line systems, each with a transmission capacity of 2 GW.

SOL thus makes a significant contribution to efficiently transporting renewable energy from the north to the south of Germany and strengthening the power grid for the challenges of the future.

ABOUT THE SUB-PROJECT

The sub-project Commissioning Stations plays a key role in the successful implementation of the SuedOstLink program. The focus is particularly on the coordinated and safe commissioning of the converter for STATCOM operation and transmission operation. Furthermore, the sub-project is responsible for the commissioning of the six cable stations between Hohe Börde and Gefell.
