The nearshore a part of the Windplanblauw wind vitality undertaking by Vattenfall and SwifterwinT is delivering energy to the grid. For the time being, 5 out of the 24 wind generators within the IJsselmeer lake have been accomplished and are actually in a check section.
Windplanblauw is being developed by Vattenfall and SwifterwinT. It entails a 340 MW repowering undertaking by which 74 previous wind generators are being changed by 61 new and extra highly effective wind generators that ought to ultimately generate sufficient electrical energy to provide roughly the equal of 450,000 households per yr. Of the 61 wind generators, 24 will probably be situated in two traces within the IJsselmeer, outdoors the dike, and 37 on land. The development onshore was accomplished in November 2022.
The primary turbine within the IJsselmeer was put in in Could this yr. The generators are supplied by Basic Electrical, kind Cypress 5.5 MW. There are presently 13 generators put in, 5 of that are utterly completed. These generators will probably be examined within the coming interval. The ability generated throughout this section will already be fed instantly into the electrical energy grid. The wind generators aren’t but at full capability. Through the testing section, they’re slowly scaled as much as full manufacturing.
The 24 wind generators exchange the 28 generators of Irene Vorrink Wind Farm that stood alongside the dike for years. They’ve a mixed capability of 132 MW, The electrical energy that can yearly be produced as soon as absolutely operational corresponds to the consumption of the equal of greater than 130,000 households.
The whole wind farm is to be accomplished by 2024. The undertaking additionally suits properly with the ambition of Flevoland Province, which desires to be vitality impartial by 2030. Windplanblauw makes an necessary contribution to attaining that purpose. Picture: Windplanblauw/Wessel Deen
