Gode Wind 2 is the name of an offshore wind farm in the German Exclusive Economic Zone in the southern North Sea that went into operation in 2017.
location
The total area of the wind farm is around 57 km². The area is about 32.5 km north of the island of Norderney , about 33.7 km of the island of Juist , about 36.4 km of the island of Baltrum and about 39.2 km of the island of Langeoog with water depths of 28 to 33 m .
history
The wind farm was planned by PNE Wind . In August 2012, Dong Energy acquired the rights to the wind farm.
Originally, in 2007 , PNE Wind applied for the construction and operation of 144 wind turbines (WEA). In the approval process, PNE Wind reduced the number of turbines to 80 wind turbines with a total nominal output of a maximum of 480 MW. The Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) granted approval on July 27, 2009 on the basis of the Maritime Facilities Ordinance .
In December 2011, PNE Wind announced the sale of the wind farm to the Danish investor Brancor Capital Partners APS . This should be completed in several tranches and completed by March 2012. However, this sale failed in March 2012 because Brancor Capital Partners APS failed to make a due payment.
Following the sale of the project to Dong Energy and further rescheduling, an application was made on February 5, 2013 to change to the final size of 42 wind turbines with a total nominal output of a maximum of 336 MW. The rest of the planning area will be further developed as Gode Wind 4 . The final change was approved on July 31, 2013.
In April 2015, the construction work started in Gode Wind 2 and the neighboring offshore wind farm Gode Wind I . The monopile foundations were manufactured in Rostock by the EEW Group and introduced with the help of the innovation . In May 2016, the last wind turbine was installed by A2SEA with the help of the Sea Challenger .
The official inauguration of the wind farm took place on June 27, 2017 in the Danish Embassy in Berlin .

Wind turbines
Originally 84 wind turbines from Vestas were to be used. A corresponding cooperation with Vestas was concluded in March 2011. The construction of the wind turbine was planned for 2012 and 2013. In 2013, the new owner Dong Energy decided to reschedule in favor of 42 Siemens SWT-6.0 gearless turbines with a nominal output of 6 MW and a rotor diameter of 154 meters.
Network connection

The wind turbines are connected to a transformer platform in the wind farm via medium-voltage cables , which transforms the three-phase alternating current (three-phase current) from 33 kV to high voltage of 155 kV. From there, the electricity is fed to the DolWin2 offshore HVDC system operated by the transmission system operator Tennet TSO via a submarine cable connection . The Gode Wind I and Nordsee One offshore wind farms are also connected to the DolWin beta converter platform . After conversion to direct current , the transmission takes place over 135 km (45 km of which are submarine cables and 90 km of underground cables ) to the converter station Dörpen / West near Heede (Emsland) .
Due to cable faults , the DolWin 2 system installed in October 2016 could not go into regular operation until mid-2017.
business
Dong Energy has been using a site in Norddeich as a maintenance and service base since 2015 . Here is the operations control center, built by the construction company Johann Bunte . Due to the expansion in the North Sea, the operations control center is being expanded.
