Construction on the London Array, which is the world’s largest offshore wind farm, began in July 2009. The plant is located around 15km from the Kent and Essex coasts in the outer Thames Estuary, UK. It will see up to 341 turbines in an area of up to around 245km² on and between the Long Sand and Kentish Knock sandbanks.
London Array Offshore Wind Farm is operated by RWE on behalf of project partners. London Array is celebrating its tenth year in operation, back in 2013 it was the world’s largest offshore wind farm.
Today marks the inauguration of the world’s largest offshore wind power plant, London Array. Siemens supplied the 175 wind turbines and the grid connection for London Array. Together with Dong Energy, Siemens will also be responsible for the service of the wind turbines through a long-term agreement.
With 175 wind turbines, the Array will be able to generate 630 MegaWatts of electricity, which is enough power for nearly half a million homes, or the equivalent to two-thirds of Kent.
The first phase consisted of 175 Siemens Wind Power SWT-3.6 turbines and two offshore substations, giving a wind farm with a peak rated power of 630 MW. Each turbine and offshore substation is erected on a monopile foundation, and connected together by 210 km (130 mi) of 33 kV array cables.
Siemens is at the front of the market for offshore wind power plants, grid connections and offshore wind service. The company has already installed more than 1,100 wind turbines at sea with a total capacity of 3.4 GW, over two thirds of which are located in Great Britain. In total, it has 4.6 GW of offshore capacity in its order books.
