SeaRenergy gets Siemens hub work

Siemens-Servicemitarbeiter vor dem Offshore-Windpark Lillgrund zwischen Malmö und Kopenhagen in Schweden. Siemens hat im Projekt Lillgrund 48 Windenergieanlagen des Typs SWT-2.3-93 mit einer Leistung von jeweils 2,3 Megawatt (MW) installiert. Der Windpark mit einer installierten Gesamtleistung von 110 Megawatt (MW) wird vom schwedischen Energieversorger Vattenfall betrieben und wurde im Juni 2008 offiziell in Betrieb genommen. Der Offshore-Windpark Lillgrund produziert genug Strom, um 60.000 schwedische Haushalte zu versorgen.Siemens service personnel in front of the Lillgrund offshore wind farm Lillgrund in the Øresund between Malmö and Copenhagen. For the Lillgrund project Siemens installed 48 SWT-2.3-93 wind power systems each rated at 2.3 megawatts (MW). The wind farm with a total installed capacity of 110 MW is operated by the Swedish utility Vattenfall and officially came on line in June 2008. The Lillgrund offshore wind farm produces enough electrcity to supply 60,000 Swedish households.

Both hubs are key – and significantly behind schedule – elements of Germany’s offshore wind connection strategy, which has proved a bigger challenge than expected for the German government, network operator TenneT and Siemens alike.

SeaRenergy says the transport and installation of both platforms will take place this year.
