UK, Lincolnshire: The 765 km Viking Link connects Bicker Fen in the UK to Revsing, southern Jutland, Denmark, and enables power to be shared between the two countries for the first time. It is a joint venture between the UK’s National Grid and Danish System Operator Energinet, and passes through British, Dutch, German and Danish waters. The high voltage direct current (HVDC) link and its substations will allow Britain and Denmark increased access to clean energy and improve their energy security.
Necessitating a converter station and substation in each country, Linxon played a key role in the delivery of the Bicker Fen 400 kV AC substation extension in Lincolnshire, UK. In a contract awarded in late 2020, Linxon provided the EPC solution for the extension of double busbars, bus coupler and two user (interconnector) bays.
