The Kloppberg wind farm is a wind farm in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate . It currently comprises 20 wind turbines from different manufacturers on the districts of the Rhine-Hessian communities of Hochborn , Gau-Heppenheim and Dittelsheim-Heßloch .

At the time of commissioning in 1998, it was one of the largest such plants in the region, which is still strongly characterized by the use of wind power.

construction

Currently (as of 2019), the park comprises 22 wind turbines from Nordex , Fuhrländer , Enercon , Senvion and Vestas . They are:

  • 7 Nordex N43 turbines with an output of 600 kW
  • 1 system type Fuhrländer FL 1000 with 1000 kW output
  • 4 systems type Enercon E-48 with 800 kW output
  • 4 systems type Enercon E-53 with 800 kW output
  • 2 Senvion 3.4M114 systems with an output of 3,400 kW
  • 2 systems type Vestas V117-3.45MW with 3,450 kW output
  • 2 Enercon E-82 E2 systems with an output of 2,300 kW

The wind farm is connected to the Gundersheim substation with the 110 kV network of Westnetz via 20 kV cables in the medium voltage network. Separately from the wind park, two high-voltage lines run through the wind park site.

history

First phase

The first two systems on the Kloppberg were built in 1995 in the district of Gau-Heppenheim. These were two Micon M530-250s from the now defunct manufacturer Micon. They each had a nominal output of 250 kW.

At the end of 1998, the project developer ABO Wind built a total of 14 Nordex N43 turbines with a nominal output of 600 kW and two Fuhrländer FL 1000 turbines in this area. In contrast to most of the other wind power plants built in Germany, these were not on a tubular steel tower, but on a lattice tower, which made the plants very noticeable. After the installation of the plants, the park with a total nominal output of 10.9 MW was sold to various investors.

Second phase

In 2005 the wind farm was expanded again. Terrawatt Planungsgesellschaft GmbH expanded the park with four Enercon E-48 systems, each with an output of 800 kW, which went into operation in October of the same year. One of these systems is now owned by CW Consult GmbH & Co. KG.

Third phase

In 2010, repowering was carried out for the first time in the Kloppberg wind farm . The two Micon systems, which are now 15 years old and only had a low nominal output, as well as a Fuhrländer system were dismantled and the park was expanded by four Enercon E-53 systems. Technically, they are based on the E-48 turbines built in 2005, but have a slightly larger rotor diameter.

Fourth phase

Repowering was carried out again in 2014 and 2015. From the beginning of October to mid-November 2014, a total of 7 of the 14 Nordex turbines were dismantled from lattice masts.

In 2015, ABO Wind built two Senvion 3.4M114 turbines in the district of Gau-Heppenheim.

Fifth phase

The last expansion so far was carried out at the beginning of 2017, when - again by ABO Wind - two V117-3.45MW turbines from the Danish manufacturer Vestas were installed. A citizens' initiative was formed against the construction of the facilities.

Sixth phase

In 2018, 2 Enercon E-82 E2 were installed
