East Anglia One offshore wind farm (714 MW): Large-scale renewable energy in the British North Sea
UK
The East Anglia One offshore wind farm, with a capacity of 714 MW, is among the world’s largest offshore projects and is located 85 km off the southeast coast of England in the North Sea. This East Anglia One offshore wind farm will feature 102 turbines of 7 MW each and will supply clean energy to nearly 500,000 British households. IDOM carried out the 3D modeling of the substation’s steel structure, including equipment, auxiliary services, and all top side decks.
The offshore East Anglia One wind farm (714 MW) is located in the North Sea, 85 km off the Southeast coast of England. When it comes into operation in 2020, it will be one of the biggest in the world, supplying almost 500,000 British homes.
The park consists of 102 wind turbines (235-meter high), each generating 7 MW. The jackets reach a height of 65.5 meters. With an investment of close to 3 billion euros, the wind farm will cover an area of approximately 300 km².
IDOM is responsible for the 3D modelling of the metallic structure of the substation, including equipment, auxiliary systems, and the different levels of the topside (cable deck, main deck, utility deck, and roof deck).
