For the European Union as a whole, the underwater cable project is useful because it develops the communication system.
The United Kingdom and Denmark began obtaining a joint project to provide sufficient electricity during the battle against global warming with a submarine cable to supply Denmark with energy supply of 2.5 million British homes. It is also important for energy bills in British families to rise in recent years, so the public welcomes that the project is also promising to provide a large amount in home energy costs.
The operation of the UK's Viking Link cable to Denmark will be a milestone in European communication. Both countries can benefit from this endeavor by transporting electricity to 2.5 million homes and 1.4 GB in the United Kingdom.
The Viking Link Cable is the largest underwater cable in the world, which has a material advantage for the British: it can help save about half a billion pounds in the first ten years of operation. In addition to the Danish profit, investment is useful for the entire European Union, according to energy experts. On the one hand, the development of the development system, on the other hand, reduces fossil pollutants emissions.
The European Union's connection develops
Create Viking link is an important step in the comprehensive plan for the goal of joining the Electricity in the European Union, which aims to expand the connection. In essence, this means that every country must have a cable network that allows 15 % of the electricity generated in its area to sell 15 % of neighboring countries and more through its system. So far, the development of 16 countries in this field is progressing, and the ultimate goal of increasing energy security throughout the European Union. For more versatile and more powerful connections, the network allows you to replace energy loss anywhere, and even immediately.
How does Viking link?
The cable path extends from the East Coast of the UK to the West Coast of Denmark. The construction of the Viking link began in 2019 through a project that plays a major role in Siemens, where electrical appliances are designed and installed by Siemens on both sides.
Initially, it will work with 800 MW, but over time it will rise to 1.4 GB. For one year, the transportation system operator in both countries works to update the system to ensure full capacity. If the entire idea is achieved, the project will revolutionize the energy sector in both countries.
By 2030, it is expected to contribute greatly to combating the climate crisis by preceding emissions of about 100 million tons of carbon dioxide only in the United Kingdom. Of course, reducing the emissions of thermal gases will not be achieved only at the global level if the imported energy comes from approximately carbon dioxide sources. The project is this to 90 percent.
The benefits of Denmark
The deal successfully provides Denmark to export excessive power power. By enabling the export of renewable energy, it indicates the main Denmark situation in sustainable energy and encourages others to follow their example.
This connection cable has an advanced technology such as a high -voltage transmission (HVDC) that works with advanced control and communications systems to control the flow of electricity for long distances. Very saturated cables can withstand high electrical pressure and deep water pressure.
Despite the underwater cable projects, such as Nordlink and Cable North Cable, the Viking link will be one of the longest conductors, which pass about 765 km. It is an important engineering performance by combining the two markets.
UK benefits
The project will be useful for the United Kingdom at many levels. It guarantees energy security by reducing the risk of energy lack and allowing the United Kingdom to import pure energy from Denmark.
It also helps the British to achieve the goals of climate change, with the formation of changing the situation by showing the technological innovation of the energy sector, which plays an important role in overcoming common challenges and even providing cross -border cooperation.
According to reports, the Viking link is expected to provide about 600,000 tons of carbon emissions in the first year of its operation. This means that 280,000 cars are removed from traffic.
