Thanet Wind Farm
The Thanet Wind Farm (also sometimes called Thanet Offshore Wind Farm)〔(Thanet Offshore Wind Project, at Warwick Energy website. Access 14 February 2012. )〕 is an offshore wind farm off the coast of Thanet district in Kent, England. It is the world's third largest offshore wind farm, , the largest being the London Array, followed by Walney Wind Farm.〔〔(World's biggest offshore wind farm opens off Britain as new minister admits high cost ) ''The Telegraph'', 9 February 2012. Accessed: 9 February 2012.〕 It has a nameplate capacity (maximum output) of 300 MW and it cost £780〔–900 million (US$1.2–1.4 billion). Thanet is one of fifteen Round 2 wind projects announced by the Crown Estate in January 2004 but the first to be developed. It was officially opened on 23 September 2010,〔Shankleman, Jessica. (UK cuts ribbon on world's largest offshore wind farm ) ''BusinessGreen'', 23 September 2010. Retrieved: 23 September 2010.〕 when it overtook Horns Rev 2 as the biggest offshore wind farm in the world. It has since been overtaken by Walney.〔
==Description==
The project covers an area of , with between turbines and between the rows. Average water depth is .〔 Planning permission for the project was granted on 18 December 2006.〔(''Offshore wind farms get go-ahead'', BBC News, 2006-12-18 )〕 According to Thanet Offshore Wind Ltd, it was expected to be "the largest operational offshore wind farm in the World".〔http://www.thanetoffshorewind.com/welcome/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=36〕 The Thanet project has a total capacity of 300 MW which, by yearly average, is sufficient to supply approximately 240,000 homes.〔 It has an estimated generation of 960 GW·h per year〔http://powerplants.vattenfall.com/node/250 Thanet Offshore Wind Project, at Vattenfall website〕 of electricity, which means a load factor of 36.5% and an average power density of 3.1 W/m².
In 2011, the yearly production achieved was 823.88 GW·h which means a load factor of 31.35%.〔(LORC: Datasheet for Thanet Offshore Wind Farm )〕
Two submarine power cables (by Italy-based Prysmian Group) run from an offshore substation within the wind farm connecting to an existing onshore substation in Richborough, Kent, connecting to a world-first two transformers.〔(Thanet Offshore Wind Farm, Kent, United Kingdom ) ''Power Technology''. Retrieved: 29 September 2010.〕 The offshore substation steps up the turbine voltage of 33 kV to 132 kV for the grid.〔(Substation in place ) ''Vestas''. Retrieved: 4 September 2010.〕 Maintenance of the turbines is carried out by Vestas, while a separate maintenance agreement with SLP Energy covers the turbines foundations. Turbines are installed by the Danish offshore wind farm services provider A2SEA. The TIV ''MPI Resolution'' carried and installed the turbines.〔(100 turbines in 100 days ) ''Vestas''.
