The Andau / Halbturn wind farm is a wind farm in the Burgenland communities of Andau and Halbturn in the Neusiedl am See district . With 79 wind turbines in the 3 MW class and an installed capacity of 237 MW, it is the third largest onshore wind park in Europe according to data from the wind association EWEA and the largest wind park in Central Europe according to information from ORF . The annual standard work capacity is 545 GWh , which corresponds to the annual electricity requirement of approx. 155,000 households. The first wind turbine went into operation in March 2013, and the official commissioning took place in August 2014.

Among other things, by feeding in systems from this wind farm, which provides around a third of the total wind power of the Burgenland of 770 MW (status: end of 2013), Burgenland became mathematically "self-sufficient" at the end of 2013.

General and location

The wind farm is operated by Energie Burgenland Windkraft , a subsidiary of Energie Burgenland , ImWind and the Püspök Group . The Austrian Wind Power will own 38 turbines, ImWind 10 turbines and the Püspök Group 31. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on May 4, 2012, the investment costs amount to approx. 450 million euros.

The wind farm area is located south of the sewage treatment plant of the building yard or the Halbturn sewage treatment plant and is bordered to the west by Albrechtsfelder Landstrasse. The eastern and southern borders form the state border with Hungary .

technology

A total of 79 gearless wind turbines of the Enercon E-101 type with a nominal output of 3 MW and a rotor diameter of 101 meters are used. To avoid ice throwing and to increase yield in the winter months, the systems are equipped with rotor blade heating. The starting wind speed is 2.5 m / s, nominal power is achieved at 12 m / s. Equipped with a storm control, in which the rotor blades are partially turned out of the wind to avoid overloads at very high wind speeds, the cut-off speed is between 28 and 34 m / s, i.e. around 100 to 122 km / h.

The majority of the wind turbines were built on hybrid towers with a hub height of 135 meters, which corresponds to a total height of 186 meters; a 99 meter high hybrid tower should be used in one system, resulting in a total height of 150 meters. In the lower area, the hybrid towers consist of prefabricated precast concrete parts that are joined together to form tower rings on the construction site, while tower segments made of sheet steel are used in the upper area. In addition, Enercon built a concrete tower plant in Zurndorf with a capacity of up to 200 concrete towers per year, which went into operation in 2012. This plant is intended to open up Eastern Europe in addition to the Austrian market.

Four to eight wind turbines were each connected to the substation in Andau by means of a high-voltage cable for three-phase alternating voltage with an operating voltage of 30 kV as an intermediate circuit, where there is a connection to the 110 kV network level. The substation, which opened in June 2013, has a transformer output of 320 MW.

Original planning

According to the approval documents (status 2010), 93 Enercon E-101s were originally planned, which were to be set up on an area of ​​around 1980 ha. Of these 1980 ha, around 24 ha were to be used permanently, 17.9 ha for foundations, transformer stations and crane parking areas and a further 6.5 ha for access roads. In addition, 16.7 hectares should be used temporarily during the construction phase. With the reduced number of wind turbines, it can be assumed that the space requirement will decrease accordingly.
