Specifications
The wind farm lies approximately 23 km west of the village of Egmond aan Zee, in the North Sea. (Note that between it and the coast lies another wind farm, OWEZ.) It consists of 60 Vestas V80-2.0MW wind turbines and has a total nameplate capacity of 120 MW. The wind turbine towers rest on steel monopile foundations, in water depths of 19 to 24 meters. Each monopile is a steel tube with diameter of about 4 meters, length of over 50 meters, weighing 320 tonnes, and driven 30 meters into the seabed. The construction barge Sea Jack required about 2 hours to drive in each monopile after positioning it.
