The Scroby Sands Wind Farm is a wind farm located on the Scroby Sands sandbank in the North Sea, off the coast of Great Yarmouth in eastern England, United Kingdom. It was commissioned in March 2004 by Powergen Renewables Offshore, a division of E.ON UK. It has a nameplate capacity of 60 megawatts and is able to produce power to supply 41,000 households. Between 2005 and 2010, its capacity factor was between 26 to 32%.〔Dunford et al. (UK Renewable Energy Data, Issue 10 ) p53 ''Renewable Energy Foundation'', 29 July 2010. Accessed: 30 September 2011.〕 The farm consists of 30 wind turbines, located in water from deep. Each turbine has three blades that rotate around a centre-point some above the mean sea level. The hollow diameter steel masts that carry the turbines are piled as much as into the sea bed, to provide stability on a substrate of shifting sands. The wind turbines were designed and manufactured by a Danish firm, Vestas. Each turbine has a capacity of 2 megawatts. Turbines were installed by the Danish offshore wind farms services provider A2SEA.〔 〕 ==Tourism== The wind farm has an information centre serving around 35,000 visitors per year, and has become a local attraction.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scroby Sands Wind Farm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
