Dogger Bank is a in-planning offshore wind farm in the UK in the North Sea . The Sandbank Doggerbank is named after the wind farm . The wind farm is being developed by the Forewind consortium and is divided into various sub-areas. Overall, an installed capacity of up to 9,000 MW could be achieved. An expansion to 13,000 MW is possible.
The potential area is 8,660 km² and is located between 125 and 290 kilometers from Yorkshire in East England . The Forewind consortium consists of SSE plc , Equinor , Statkraft and Innogy .
Sub-areas
The individual sub-areas could each have an installed capacity of 1200 MW and consist of hundreds of wind turbines . The building permit for the two sub-areas Dogger Bank A and Dogger Bank B was granted in February 2015. The Dogger Bank C and Sofia extensions followed later. Construction is not expected to start before the mid-2020s .
Dogger Bank A
The sub-area Dogger Bank A (formerly: Creyke Beck A ) was awarded £ 39.65 per megawatt hour for 1200 megawatts in September 2019 . Via a contract for difference , the feed-in tariff is guaranteed by the state to the operator for 15 years ( present value from 2012). A successful bidder is the Doggerbank Offshore WindFarm Project1ProjcoLimited , a cooperation between SSE Renewables and Equinor . Commissioning is planned for 2023/24.
Dogger Bank B.
The sub-area Dogger Bank B (previously: Creyke Beck B ) was awarded £ 41.61 per megawatt hour for 1200 megawatts in September 2019. A successful bidder is the Doggerbank Offshore WindFarm Project2ProjcoLimited , a cooperation between SSE Renewables and Equinor. Commissioning is planned for 2024/25.
Dogger Bank C.
The sub-area Dogger Bank C (formerly: Teesside A ) was awarded £ 41.61 per megawatt hour for 1200 megawatts in September 2019. The successful bidder is the Doggerbank Offshore WindFarm Project3ProjcoLimited , a cooperation between SSE Renewables and Equinor. Commissioning is also planned for 2024/25.
Sofia
The Sofia sub-area (formerly: Teesside B ) was awarded £ 39.65 per megawatt hour for 1,400 megawatts in September 2019. Successful bidder is the Sofia Offshore Wind Farm Limited , an operating company of Innogy . Commissioning is planned for 2023/24.
Wind turbines
For Dogger Bank A to Dogger Bank C aspire Equinor and SSE Renewables to build wind turbines of the type GE Wind Energy to Haliade-X 12 MW. To build it up, capacities have already been secured at the Jan de Nul Group for what is currently the largest installation ship, the Voltaire . Innogy has ordered 100 systems from Siemens Gamesa SG 14-222 DD for the Sofia subproject .
Mains connection
"Dogger Bank" is the first British offshore wind farm to connect to the grid using high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission . The output of 2.4 gigawatts of the wind turbines in Dogger Bank A and Dogger Bank B is connected to two converter platforms with 66 kilovolt alternating current (AC) . The connection to the National Grid - substation Creyke Beck near Cottingham (East Riding of Yorkshire) , 200 kilometers away, will be made using HVDC technology with a voltage of 320 kilovolts. In the converter station on land, the voltage is converted into 400 kilovolt alternating current for the transmission network . The two offshore platforms will be manufactured by Aibel , while the HVDC converter technology will be supplied by ABB . The wind turbines at Dogger Bank C will be connected to the Lackenby substation near Teesside , Middlesbrough .
With the supply and installation of the sea and underground cable was NKT commissioned.
North Sea Wind Power Hub
There are plans to build up to 100,000 megawatts of wind energy capacity in the sea area around the sandbank. This would be realized with an international distribution network. The transmission system operator Energinet.dk from Denmark as well as Tennet TSO and Tennet Holding from Germany and the Netherlands have joined forces and are driving the idea forward. For this was on March 23, 2017 agreement in the presence of EU Commissioner for Energy Union , Maroš Šefčovič , signed. In addition, consideration is being given to building one or more artificial islands in the area ( Power Link Island ). Energy distribution crosses with interconnectors for the distribution of energy from the wind farms and generally between all North Sea countries are to be built on these . Furthermore, an island there could serve as a central maintenance station for the offshore wind farms.
