Transmission: Energy from Sea to Shore
Offshore Wind Turbines: Generate electricity from rotation of turbine blades
Inter-array cables: Carry energy from turbines to offshore substation
Offshore substation: increases voltage of electricity from turbines to prevent energy loss over long distances
Export cable: Transports power generated by wind farms to offshore substation
Onshore substation: energy is integrated into the electrical grid
Onshore transmission: Electricity is transported to homes and businesses via existing infrastructure
End result: Power sourced from renewable energy
