Vestas will supply the seven large turbines for the Sprogø Offshore Wind Farm, which will be located parallel to the East Bridge, north of Sprogø, on a straight line at 450 m intervals between each turbine. Painted light grey, the turbines will harmonise with Storebælt Bridge’s architecture and the natural surroundings.
Safety
The turbines are equipped with synchronised, flashing lights on the nacelles and railings, which will ensure the safety of aircraft and shipping in Storebælt around the wind farm.
From assembly to green energy
- The turbines will be connected by 10 kV sea cables dug one metre into the seabed.
- Two 10 kV cables will reach land on Sprogø’s northern tip at a collection box.
- A land cable will ensure that the generated electricity arrives at a technical building and on to a transformer on the south side of Sprogø.
- In the transformer, the voltage will be increased before the current - via existing 60 kV cables – is transmitted to the transmission network on the island of Funen.
Power for 16,000 households
- Each turbine can generate 3 megawatts. At full capacity, the farm’s overall effect will be 21 megawatts
- Expected annual production is 66 million kWh, equating to annual electricity consumption of more than 16,000 households.
Dimensions:
- Hub height: 70 m
- Blade length: 44 m
- Rotor diameter: 90 m
- Speed: 8.6 – 18.4 rotations per minute
- Weight per turbine: 219 tonnes
