North Sea Wind Power Hub to supply renewable energy to 80 million
January 7, 2018 evwind
The North Sea Wind Power Hub, an artificial island in the North Sea that could supply renewable energy to 80 million people in Europe is set to open in 2027. The hub will send electricity via long-distance cables to six European countries.
According to the plans, a 2.3 square mile (6 square kilometers) island will be created at the northeast end of the Dogger Bank, a relatively shallow area in the North Sea with high wind readings. Thousands of wind turbines will be placed around the island, with short alternating-current links to the island.
The island will be part of the North Sea Wind Power Hub project and will include an airport, harbor and converters to change wind-generated electricity from alternating current to direct current which would be transmitted over cables to the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Norway, Germany and Denmark.
The project’s backer is Dutch power grid operator TenneT. The company recently released a report claiming the island will be billions of euros cheaper than conventional windfarms and international power cables. Right now, costs estimates are projected to be over £1.3 billion ($1.75 billion).
Rob van der Hage, who manages TenneT’s offshore wind grid development programme, told the Guardian: ‘It’s crucial for industry to continue with the cost reduction path. The big challenge we are facing towards 2030 and 2050 is onshore wind is hampered by local opposition and nearshore is nearly full. It’s logical we are looking at areas further offshore.”
When asked about the engineering challenges behind building an island, Van der Hage said: “Is it difficult? In the Netherlands, when we see a piece of water we want to build islands or land. We’ve been doing that for centuries. That is not the biggest challenge.”
