Slide 13: Glossary
Glossary Links 1 and 2 The electricity generated by the offshore wind turbines is Alternating Current (AC), which when transmitted, loses more power than Direct Current (DC). To avoid this loss the AC is converted into DC to be transmitted along the length of the cable. At the OnCS, the Links will t
Slide 14: Glossary
Glossary Bell mouths To access land plots for our works, new gated construction traffic access points (bell mouths) need to be installed at highway entrance/exit points.
