It is a temporary employment contract, associated with the subsidy granted by the Canary Agency for Research, Innovation and Information Society (ACIISI) to the Consortium for the Design, Construction, Equipment and Operation of the Oceanic Platform of the Canary Islands (PLOCAN), for the execution of the project in public R&D equipment and infrastructure called “Expansion of the Electric Infrastructure and Marine-Terrestrial Communications of the Canary Islands Ocean Platform, (BLUELINK)”, with file number EIS 2021_01 PLOCAN, approved by means of the order number 115, of April 5, 2021.
The “BLUELINK” project consists of developing a series of activities ranging from the design, acquisition and installation, to the start-up of electrical and marine-terrestrial communications infrastructures in the maritime-terrestrial public domain area reserved for the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness and entrusted for its management to the PLOCAN Consortium.
The electrical system to be installed is made up of medium and low voltage cabling and will be designed, equipped and dimensioned to evacuate energy on the ground, as well as to transmit data in real time for subsequent processing and analysis in a ground control centre. This function is essential for the test site, because without connection to the electrical grid it is not possible to evacuate the generated energy, nor to experience the effects and incidents that events in the marine environment may induce in the offshore power generation prototypes that will be rehearsed, which is the basic objective of the test site.
