Each
monopile
will
support
a
5MW
XEMC-Darwind
XD115
permanent
magnet
direct-drive
turbine
with
a
115-meter
rotor
diameter.
The
rotor,
generator
and
nacelle
together
weigh
281
tons.
Bolano
says
the
foundations
will
be
installed
in
between
32-
and
40-feet
of
water.
Each
one
will
be
3,700-feet
(1,127
meters)
apart.
The
turbines
will
be
clearly
visible
from
Atlantic
City’s
famous
oceanfront
boardwalk.
The
turbine
array
will
be
connected
with
a
34.5kV
cable
that
will
bring
power
ashore
under
the
boardwalk.
The
project
is
the
first
to
seek
qualification
by
the
New
Jersey
Board
of
Public
Utilities
