	The ABB Group: Baltic Cable
		The owner is Baltic Cable AB, a company owned by Sydkraft AB, Sweden and Statkraft, Norway.
		The Baltic Cable HVDC project has made it possible to postpone the construction of new power production plants and that existing production plants can be used more efficiently by the owners.
		Both the converter stations and the submarine cable were delivered by ABB.

	Baltic Cable - Definition, explanation
		The Baltic Cable is a HVDC power line running beneath the Baltic Sea that interconnects the electric power grids of Germany and Sweden.
		The Baltic Cable uses a transmission voltage of 450 kV – the highest operating voltage of all facilities for energy transmission in Germany.
		The cable cannot be operated at the maximum transmission rating of 600 megawatts, because the 380 kV line which begins at the converter station of Lübeck-Herrenwyk ends at the Lübeck-Siems substation.

	History of the Atlantic Cable&Submarine Telegraphy - German Cable Companies
		The next cable the company produced was a joint venture with Siemens and Halske in 1880, for a 12 nm cable to connect Pellworm to the islands of Amrum and Hooge.
		The cable from Emden to Greetsiel was manufactured by Felten and Guilleaume and the one from Greetsiel to Borkum and Valentia was manufactured by Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company, who used CS Scotia and CS Kangaroo to install the cable.
		A total of 5000 nm of cable was manufactured by Norddeutsche Seekabelwerke and with the exception of 45 nm laid in the Yangtse river estuary by CS Store Nordiske, the whole of the cable was laid by CS Stephan.

	Estonia-Finland undersea cable loosens Russia's energy grip on Europe — EUbusiness - EU business, legal and ...
		The Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania joined the EU in 2004, but their energy grids, while enjoying strong, cross-border interconnections, were not linked to any other EU countries.
		Although the Estlink cable was laid mainly to provide the Nordic countries with electricity produced in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, it has been hailed as a key step in ensuring energy security for the Baltic states.
		The Baltic states are still linked to the Russian electricity grid, as they were during Soviet rule, which lasted from the end of World War II until 1991, and also rely heavily on Russia for supplies of natural gas and oil.

		Baltic claims that the cable was damaged as a result of improper installation.
		That is, Mr. Baltic claims that the cable was not buried to the depth required by rules, and that if installation had been in accordance with the rules the cable would not have been damaged. Nevertheless, USWC sent an invoice to Mr.
		Baltic that the cable was not buried in compliance with Commission rules may, in a civil action, prove to be a complete defense to the repair charge claimed by USWC.

	CNN - Baltic leaders to sign partnership with U.S. - January 16, 1998
		The Baltic states broke free when the Soviet Union disbanded in 1991, but their membership in NATO was put on the alliance's back burner after Moscow objected to their inclusion.
		The charter was negotiated as a compromise, after a NATO summit in Madrid last summer invited Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary to join the alliance, and left the door open for Slovenia and Romania.
		Despite their suspicion of Russia, their huge neighbor to the east, the Baltic leaders say the charter is not directed against Moscow.

		Some cables were placed in 1913 through 1916, most of this was done in the Soviet time, from 1936 through 1980.
		The cable were placed by coordinates, but for many years of their lying on the bottom they underwent tidal flows, were covered with silt depositions and so on.
		To carry out the operation of lifting cable on a cable-layer, it is best of all, in advance, to map the bottom by a known method of running the cable.

		A subsea cable linking the energy grids of Estonia and Finland was inaugurated on Monday - the first time the Baltic states have been linked into European networks.
		The cable, known as Estlink, runs 105 kilometres from the northern Estonian town of Harku to the southern Finnish town of Espoo.
		The three Baltic states are also discussing the joint construction of a new nuclear power plant on the site of a former Soviet one in Lithuania.

	Estlink: FAQ
		The submarine cable is 350 MW and +/- 150kV DC.
		The cable is to be connected to the Finish transmission network at Espoo 400 kV converter station, and to the Estonian transmission network at Harku 330kV converter station using HVDC Light transmission technology, provided by ABB.
		For example, when the cable is at a depth of 1m, the electromagnetic flux density on the surface is 30 mT and decreases with the distance.

		The contract for the manufacturing of both the HVDC and the electrode cable, as well as the cable laying, was awarded to ABB High Voltage Cables AB of Sweden by Baltic Cable AB, a cooperation between several Swedish and German power companies.
		This concerned the transportation of the HVDC cable to Arrie and the installation of the HVDC and the electrode cable in the Trave River between Lübeck and Travemünde (Germany).
		Following the 1993 submarine cable installation in the Trave River (Germany), ABB High Voltage Cables AB of Sweden granted another contract for the installation of a submarine electrode cable in the Baltic Sea near the German coast during the spring of 1994.

		A submarine cable is exposed to extreme stress, first during cable laying and then in use, depending on variations in the topography of the sea bed.
		To increase the cable's resistance to these bendings, tensile forces and sudden impacts, it's normally armored with heavy steel wires.
		This cable has a continuous length of 63 km and a weight of 2400 tons and is the longest 110 kV three core cable of this type in the world.

	Breaking conventions in electrical power plants
		To avoid break downs on the cable, it is quite natural that the required test method includes tests that are very extreme, for example to withstand, over-voltages.
		However, this also inherently results in expensive cables and/or that the cables are not fully utilised which is a drawback for both users as well as suppliers of cables.
		The aim, was to investigate the possible capacity of the cable under as realistic conditions as possible.

	HVDC
		Above a certain break-even distance (about 50 km for submarine cables, and 600-800 km for overhead cables [3]), the lower cost of the HVDC cable outweighs the cost of the electronics.
		HVDC is used to transfer power between two AC grids of different frequencies, voltages or load capacities.
		It is also used for power distribution in wind farms, where power from turbines rotating at different speeds has to be fed into a common grid.

		Rather than running two undersea cables to transport dc power, this scheme requires only one cable while salt water serves as the return path.
		Simulations in FEMLAB easily show how the location of the "Baltic Cable", a 1-cable power transmission scheme using seawater as a return path, affects the current density in bays and around islands.
		With the aid of FEMLAB, they were able to simulate the effects of placing the undersea cable and programmed the package to generate a graphical presentation that allows comparison of different electrode configurations.

	Baltic Sea Region
		Privatization in the Baltics is nearly complete, and in 2003, despite the slowdown in the global economy, the three countries posted an average 6.6% increase in their real gross domestic product (GDP).
		Before the recent expansion of export capacity in the Baltic region --led by the construction of Russia's Primorsk facility (see below)-- Ventspils was the largest port in the Baltics and the second largest oil export terminal for Russian crude after the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk.
		With the three Baltic states scheduled to join the European Union in May 2004, Gazprom's growing influence in the Baltics could serve as a staging ground for greater exports to the countries of the European Union.

		Three-quarters of its length lie on the bed of the Baltic Sea.
		While its initial goal is to allow the Baltics to sell energy generated on their territory to Scandinavia, it will also allow them to import energy from their northern neighbours, an ABB release said.
