Repowering wind farm Lünegraben with LoviSil® feed-in joints
Can cable joints contribute to a fast and efficient connection on wind farms? Absolutely! Lovink Enertech recently supplied LoviSil® feed-in joints for the German wind farm Lünegraben. These feed-in joints ensure less cable length, no extra joints and a shorter assembly time.
What is repowering and why is it important?
Repowering – the upgrading of existing wind farms – is increasingly happening in Germany. Old, lighter turbines will be replaced by heavier ones, increasing efficiency and making the farm future-proof. The choice of LoviSil® feed-in joints is a smart investment:
- Less excavation work by saving extra joints
- Optimal protection against harmonics thanks to liquid silicone technology
- Quick assembly for minimal downtime
Efficient installation and training of cable joints
The work on the Lünegraben wind farm was carried out by contractor Nüsse kabel. Thanks to their experience with medium-voltage joints, the training went smoothly. Under the guidance of Lovink Enertech, jointers got to know the LoviSil® cable joints:
- Step-by-step approach: connecting, electrical insulation, grounding and exterior insulation.
- Easy assembly, even for teams accustomed to heat and cold shrink technology
“The jointers only knew the heat and cold shrink joints, but are now also trained in the LoviSil® technique. They quickly mastered the step-by-step approach of connecting, electrical insulation, earthing and installing exterior insulation. They were all pleased with the simplicity” , according to Dennis Jansen.
Satisfaction and fast delivery
Both the owner of the wind farm and the contractor were very satisfied with:
- The service offered
- The fast delivery time of the feed-in joints
- Solution reliability
