Grid access solutions are custom-engineered solutions for decentralized generating units and remote loads. They are an essential part of Smart Grid and Super Grid developments (refer to chapter 1). Grid access solutions involve reconciling contrasting parameters, such as high reliability, low investment costs and efcient transmission, in the best possible solution. For example, in the design of high-voltage offshore platforms for offshore wind farm connections to the grid (g. 2.6-1), special attention is paid to intelligent collection systems at the mediumvoltage level, followed by the design of the high-voltage transmission system and the onshore receiving substation and its reactive compensation to meet local grid code requirements. Turnkey proposition and project execution By offering a turnkey solution (g. 2.6-2), Siemens provides a holistic setup of a complex project involving project administration, design and engineering services, subcontracting, procurement and expediting of equipment, inspection of equipment prior to delivery, shipment, transportation, control of schedule and quality, pre-commissioning and completion, performanceguarantee testing, and training of owners operating and/or maintenance personnel. For both AC and DC transmission technologies, Siemens offers a broad range of solutions. The technical constraints of a decentralized generating unit or remote loads in connection with AC or DC transmission systems are well known and addressed accordingly. The engineering expertise of Siemens is all inclusive from the conceptual and basic design to digital and real-time simulations, therefore assuming responsibility for presenting the solution to the grid owner which is essential in executing such projects.
