First power from the 1,386 MW Hornsea Two, soon to be the worlds largest offshore wind farm, is expected before the end of the year, a spokesperson for rsted told offshore WIND.<\/p>\n
139 of the wind farms 165 Siemens Gamesa 8.4 MW wind turbines have now been installed, and all of the wind farms inter-array cables are now in place, the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
Along with the 165 wind turbines, Hornsea Two also comprises an offshore substation, and a reactive compensation station (RCS).<\/p>\n
The wind farms transmission system is now being finalized, with the final export cable pulled into the wind farms RCS in November, according to rsteds spokesperson.<\/p>\n
Hornsea Two is located some 89 kilometres off the Yorkshire coast, UK. <\/p>\n
Spanning an offshore area of 462 square kilometres, the wind farm will go into full operation in 2022, producing enough electricity to power more than 1.3 million homes.<\/p>\n
DEME Offshores Sea Challenger and Sea Installer are transporting the wind farms turbines from Siemens Gamesas facilities in the Port of Hull and installing them at the project site. <\/p>\n
Sea Challenger installed the first turbine at the site at the end of May, and the 100th unit was installed in early October.<\/p>\n
