デンマーク、世界最大の洋上風力発電所群の設置を完了。91基、209MWのOffshore wind farmの壮観

　デンマークのHorns Rev II wind farmに、風力発電機が設置され、世界一の洋上風力発電所の運転に向けて最終準備段階に入ったとのことです。デンマークの西海岸からおおよそ30kmの洋上に立ち並ぶのは、シーメンスの2.3MWのtype SWP 2.3-9391基。直径93mの翼の最高到達点は、海面から114.5に達し、91基の合計設備容量は、209MWに達します。

　そして、世界最大の洋上ウィンドファームという称号は、どんどんと新しい発電所に引き継がれていきます。同じシーメンスが2011年に完成を目指すLondon Arrayプロジェクトでは、3.6MWのSWT-3.6-107 Wind Turbineを175基で、合計630MWを目指し、やがては1000MWの規模になるということですから驚きです。(t_t)

・Siemens to provide 175 wind turbines for the world’s largest offshore wind farm London Array-----Siemens Energy,May 19, 2009

" Siemens Energy will supply 175 SWT-3.6 turbines to the London Array offshore wind project, which is owned by DONG Energy, E.ON and Masdar. Upon completion, the London Array project will be the largest offshore wind farm in the world with a capacity of 630 megawatts (MW). There is also an option to further expand the wind farm up to 1,000 MW in the future.
London Array is set to become the first 1-Gigawatt offshore wind farm, supplying enough power for approximately 750,000 homes ? or a quarter of Greater London homes - and displace 1.9 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.

The wind farm will be located approximately 20 km off the coast of Kent and Essex in the Outer Thames Estuary. The project forms part of the UK’s second round group of offshore projects. The wind turbines that Siemens will deliver under the supply agreement, which Siemens has signed with DONG Energy, have a capacity of 3.6 MW each.
