The EnBW Hohe See wind farm (formerly Hochsee-Windpark Nordsee ) is an offshore wind farm in the North Sea . The wind farm is owned by EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg and the Canadian energy company Enbridge and has an installed capacity of 497 MW . For this purpose, 71 were wind turbines of the type Siemens SWT 7.0-154 with a rated power set up by each of 7 MW.
location
The area of the EnBW Hohe See wind farm is located in the German exclusive economic zone of the North Sea, 90 km north of Borkum and 100 km northwest of Heligoland . It is located south-southeast of the offshore wind farm Global Tech I, which is already in operation . Despite the name, the area is not on the “ high seas ”, but on the continental shelf .
The offshore wind farm will be built on an area of 40.4 km² with water depths of around 39 meters.
history
The wind farm was approved by the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency on July 5, 2006 at the request of EOS Offshore AG from Varel . The new name has existed since December 2, 2009. The license holder is now EnBW Hohe See GmbH & Co. KG in Stuttgart, formerly EnBW Nordsee Offshore GmbH .
In November 2012, EnBW put the project on hold due to legal uncertainties. As the reason for this decision, EnBW stated that it could not be ensured that the wind farm would be connected to the grid quickly. However, the group then continued planning. In February 2016, Siemens was selected as the preferred supplier for the 71 wind turbines (WTs) including the foundations, and a conditional contract was awarded. At this point in time, all other major orders had also been awarded. The final construction decision was made in February 2017 after the financing was secured. Among other things, EnBW won the Canadian energy company Enbridge as co-investors. Enbridge will own a stake of up to 49.9%.
On January 17, 2018, a safety zone was set up at a distance of 500 meters around the planned locations of the external wind turbines for the construction project so that construction work can begin on site. This safety zone is adjacent to the existing security zone around the OWP Global Tech I . The first foundation of the wind farm was installed in April 2018.
In July 2019, some of the wind turbines installed in the wind farm were already feeding electrical energy into the grid. The last wind turbines were erected in mid-August 2019. The official start of operation of the wind farm took place in October 2019.
Network connection
OWP high seas via high-voltage three-phase alternating current - submarine cable to the converter platform " BorWin gamma connected" at the southern tip of the OWP. From here, the HVDC “BorWin 3” leads the electrical energy gained to the Emden Ost converter station on land, in order to feed it into the 380 kV network.
technology
In total, the 71 wind turbines have an installed capacity of 497 MW.

Maintenance ship
Siemens Gamesa and EnBW are using a special ship to maintain the Hohe See and Albatros offshore wind farms . The Bibby Wavemaster Horizon offers space for a crew of sixty, including up to 40 technicians, and can be on the road for up to a month in the wind farm before it has to return to its home port of Emden . The equipment for the workforce includes a fitness studio, an on-board canteen, a cinema and an on-board hospital. In order to enable the easiest possible transition from the ship to the platforms of the wind turbines, the ship has a height-adjustable, extendable gangway. The gangway is accessed via an elevator, the exit height of which is continuously adjustable between 9.5 and 28.5 m. The ship also has a special crane, the control of which automatically compensates for the ship's movements. Spare parts can be stored on pallets on the ship's foredeck. The service speed of the ship is 13.8 knots (approx. 25 km / h). The ship was officially put into operation in Hamburg in October 2019.
