Wind Projects
Project Title: Bison I Wind Project location: Center, ND startup date: 2010 size: 75.9 MW project type: Wind descriptions: This wind project will be using 33 Siemens wind turbines at 2.3 MW each, built in two phases, 16 turbines installed in 2010 and 17 turbines installed in 2011. This project will be located near an existing DC transmission line, which runs between the Square Butte Substation in Center, N.D. and Minnesota Power's Arrowhead Substation in Duluth. The line will deliver renewable energy to Minnesota Power customers from the 75 MW wind project and wind development planned for the future. Contractors: Siemens Wind Turbines Minnesota Power Power Purchaser
Project Title: Horns Rev-2 location: Esbjerg, Denmark startup date: 2009 size: 210 MW project type: Wind descriptions: The anticipated installed capacity of approximately 200 MW is expected to have an annual production of more than 800 GWh, which corresponds to the electricity consumed by approximately 200,000 Danish homes. This project will use 91 wind turbines each will supply 2.3 MW. This wind farm is 30km off the west coast of Jutland in the North Sea in water depths of 9-17m. Construction began in May 2008 and the first turbine was installed on March 19, 2009. On September 17, 2009, the project was inaugurated by Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik and became the largest offshore wind park in the world. With average wind speeds just below 10m/s, annual output is expected to be about 800 GWh. Horns Rev-2 is the first offshore wind farm to be manned year-round by up to 24 workers staging from an offshore maintenance and transformer platform dubbed Poseidon. Contractors: Dong Energy Developer Siemens Wind Turbines
Project Title: Alatan Wind Farm location: near Tongliaoin in Inner Mongolia, China startup date: 2010 size: project type: Wind descriptions: Vestas has received an order from China Datang Renewable Power Co. Ltd. for 25 units of the versatile and highly productive V80-2.0 MW turbine. The turbines are designated for the Alatan wind farm near Tongliao in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and deliver is expected in the third quarter of 2010. Contractors: Vestas Wind Turbines
