substation
Substations (or substation hubs) can perform various functions within the electrical connections system of the off-shore wind farm: power collection, voltage transformation, conversion between AC and DC, reactive compensation, etc. They will usually be located off-shore (on an off-shore platform) as well, but may also include on-shore substations for some farms.

About
A substation is a part of an electrical generation, transmission, and distribution system. Substations transform voltage from high to low, or the reverse, or perform any of several other important functions. Between the generating station and the consumer, electric power may flow through several substations at different voltage levels. A substation may include transformers to change voltage levels between high transmission voltages and lower distribution voltages, or at the interconnection of two different transmission voltages. They are a common component of the infrastructure. As of 2022, there were approximately 55,000 substations in the United States. Substations are also occasionally known in some countries as switchyards.
