The synergies were identified at an early stage and the route/site selection was designed to inform the EIA for both Project One and Project Two. As of such this report while initially produced for Project One is directly applicable to Project Two and sets out the factors that influenced the onshore export cable route selection and HVDC converter/HVAC substation site selection for both projects. ii sdf Table of Contents Table of Figures 1 Introduction

purpose of this document is to outline the optioneering and selection process which was accomplished to determine the optimum landfall site, onshore cable route corridor and onshore HVDC converter/HVAC substation location for the connection of the SMart Wind Limited Hornsea offshore wind farm Project One. 1.2 Background 1.2.1 Project One is located over 100 km from the East Yorkshire and East Lincolnshire coast. In addition, National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) identified Killingholme 400 kV substation to be the connection point for Project One, some 20 km inland from the coast and on the south bank of the River Humber with a capacity of up to 1.2 GW. 1.2.2 The second project from the Hornsea offshore wind farm is also proposed to be connected to Killingholme 400 kV substation. Potential efficiencies could be gained from both projects utilising the same connection corridor and this was considered throughout the selection process, although focus was made primarily on Project One. 1.2.3 Considering the length of connection required to the offshore wind farm and the generation capacity, it was assumed that a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) connection would be required. The initial assessments made to identify the optimum connection were based on HVDC technology, the suitability for a connection using HVAC was however also considered. 1.2.4 An appropriate area of search for offshore cable route corridors, landfall sites, onshore cable route corridors and onshore

  • Looking at T'other: Robert Thornton's Yorkshire Oryent, C.1400-1473
    Looking at T’Other: Robert Thornton’s Yorkshire Oryent, c.1400-1473 Jennifer Bartlett, B.A. (hons.) (Dunelm), M.A., PGCert. PhD University of York Centre for Medieval Studies October 2015 2 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the place of the “Oryent” in the socio-cultural milieu of Robert Thornton, a member of the North Riding gentry, circa 1400-1473. Using the figure of Thornton, and his two manuscripts, Lincoln, Lincoln Cathedral Library MS 91 and London, British Library MS Additional 31042, as a way of entering into this cultural landscape, it situates them in their historical and geographical contexts in order to explore the representations, reception of, and attitudes towards the people and material culture of the “Oryent” (employing Thornton’s own orthography and usage to define this region) as found in Thornton’s socio-cultural sphere. By then exploring both the cultural landscape, and the ideas presented by the manuscripts themselves, this thesis argues that, counter to much current critical thinking, those of Thornton’s circle possessed a sophisticated and nuanced understanding of the “Oryent,” and its people, the Jews and so-called “Saracens.” Firstly it examines the real contemporary presence and usages of “Oryental” foodstuffs, fabrics and animals throughout Yorkshire. It then explores the remembered presence of the Jews, the evoked presence of the Holy Land in the city of York, and how these cultural memories influenced the experience of reading the alliterative romance Siege of Jerusalem. Finally it investigates the imagined literary figure of the Saracen, as located in Thornton’s manuscripts, how this figure was informed by scholastic ideas, and how these ideas impacted upon thoughts concerning Saracen conversion to Christianity.
