Excerpt: Horns Rev – At Horns Rev the Danish Energy company Elsam (now DONG Energy) built the first offshore wind farm in the North Sea. A total of 80 Vestas V80-2.0 MW units, capable of producing 160 MW, were installed in 2002 with the last turbine coming into operation on 11 December 2002. Since 2005, the wind farm is owned and operated by Vattenfall. Turbines are laid out as an oblique rectangle of 5 km x 3.8 km (8 horizontal and 10 vertical rows). The distance between turbines is 560 m in both directions. The main method of transport to the first wind park is a specially adapted Eurocopter EC-135 helicopter. Hoisting the workers to and from a small platform on each turbine allows access to the park regardless of sea conditions which would otherwise prevent sailing in the area for a large part of the year. In May 2008, Dong Energy began construction on an additional wind farm in the area, Horns Rev 2. Ninety-one Siemens SWP 2.3-93 wind turbines will be installed, with a total generating capacity of some 209 MW, making it the largest offshore wind farm in the world so far. Construction was completed in September 2009. and was inaugurated on September 17, 2009 by Prince Frederik on the Poseidon accommodation platform. The combined capacity of the two wind farms at Horns Rev is 369 MW, theoretically supplying approximately 350,000 Danish homes with electricity. However, the average output is more likely to be around 150 MW. Poseidon is the first offshore wind farm accommodation platform in the world. It is connected by walkway to the transformator platform in the Horns Rev 2 offsho…More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1101878
