Wind Farm Design: Planning, Research and

The initial design of a wind farm can have profound implications for its future profitability. Based on onshore wind farms, though also relevant for offshore, this extract from a new EWEA book reveals some of the key

6 FAQs about [Wind farm specifications]

What are the components of a wind farm?

Wind Farm Components and their Layout, (Malhotra, 2007c) The components of a wind turbine system (Figure 2) include the foundation, the support structure, the transition piece, the tower, the rotor blades and the nacelle.

How big a wind farm should be?

When the likely constraints are known, a preliminary design of the wind farm can be produced. As a rough guide, the installed capacity is likely to be of the order of 12 MW/km 2, unless there are major restrictions that affect the efficient use of available land.

What are the capacity factors for offshore wind farms?

Many offshore wind farms report capacity factors of about 50%, and above that is expected for the next generation of turbines. This compares with capacity factors of about 35% for good onshore sites. As turbine rotor diameter increases, with the same limit on tip speed, the rotational speed will decrease.

What are the requirements for a wind farm electrical system?

The wind farm electrical system must meet local electrical safety requirements and be capable of being operated safely, should achieve an optimum balance between capital cost, operating costs and reliability and must ensure that the wind farm satisfies the technical requirements of the electricity network operator.

How many jackets are needed for a 1GW offshore wind farm?

The supply of 100 jackets, as would be required for a 1GW offshore wind farm with 10MW turbines, is likely to require multiple fabricators. Where ground conditions are too hard for monopiles, because it is easier to drive small piles than large monopile foundations into the sea bed.

How much does a wind farm cost?

The balance of plant includes all the components of the wind farm except the turbines, including transmission assets built as a direct result of the wind farm. About £600 million for a 1GW wind farm. See relevant sections below. Much of the benefit of larger turbines is largely realised by the reduction in balance of plant costs.
