Luchterduinen is the name of an offshore wind farm in the exclusive economic zone of the Netherlands . Construction began in October 2013 and commissioning took place in September 2015. According to Eneco , the forecast annual standard energy capacity of the wind farm is 530 GWh , which roughly corresponds to the annual electricity consumption of 135,000 households.
General
The offshore wind farm, which extends over a total area of 25 km², is located about 23 km off the coast of the two Dutch cities of Zandvoort and Noordwijk in the North Sea , the water depth is between 18 and 24 m. 17th km further north is the Princess Amalia offshore wind farm, which was commissioned in 2008 , and is also close to the Egmond aan Zee offshore wind farm . The owners are the companies Eneco and Mitsubishi , who each hold 50% of the shares in the wind farm through a joint venture.
For the construction of the wind farm a. the installation ship Aeolus , which was built by the Hamburg shipyard JJ Sietas and equipped by the Lloyd shipyard in Bremerhaven until July 2014 . For Aeolus , the construction of the wind farm was the first project after its commissioning.
Construction began in October 2013 and the last wind turbine was installed in June 2015 . In September 2015, three months ahead of the targeted date, the wind farm was officially commissioned.
technology
For insert 43 come wind turbines of the type Vestas V112-3.0 MW having a power rating of each 3 MW, which has a hub height of 81 m and a rotor diameter of 112 m have. This results in a total height of the systems of approx. 137 m; the total output of the systems is 129 MW. Monopiles are used as the foundation structure , a transition piece between monopile and tower is not used.
The original plan was to equip the wind farm with 51 Vestas V90-3MW turbines, which are also used in the neighboring Princess Amalia offshore wind farm. In this configuration the power rating would be 153 MW. However, this plan was abandoned and instead the significantly more profitable systems of the type V112-3MW were given preference.
The submarine cables of the inner park cabling are operated with a voltage of 33 kV . A transformer platform located in the wind farm increases the voltage to 150 kV, with which the export cable is operated to the substation in Sassenheim .
