據(jù)鉆機(jī)地帶8月31日報(bào)道，挪威國家石油公司（Equinor）即將從世界上首個浮動風(fēng)電場獲得第一批電力，為海上油氣平臺提供電力，并啟動世界上最大的浮動風(fēng)電場。

所討論的兩個項(xiàng)目是Hywind Tampen和Dogger Bank，這兩個項(xiàng)目都位于北海，Equinor在那里擁有十多年的海上風(fēng)電場運(yùn)營經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

到2050年，北海將繼續(xù)在歐洲能源轉(zhuǎn)型和安全方面發(fā)揮關(guān)鍵作用。該地區(qū)正在從石油和天然氣生產(chǎn)向利用世界級海上風(fēng)能資源的能源大省擴(kuò)展。北海具有獨(dú)特的優(yōu)勢，可以幫助實(shí)現(xiàn)歐洲可靠、廉價(jià)和可持續(xù)能源供應(yīng)的目標(biāo)。

Equinor可再生能源執(zhí)行副總裁P?l Eitrheim表示，像Dogger Bank和Hywind Tampen這樣的可再生大型項(xiàng)目即將啟動，這使Equinor能夠推動可再生能源進(jìn)入歐洲市場。Trollvind和Utsira Nord等新項(xiàng)目有可能加深挪威在使浮動海上風(fēng)電具有競爭力且價(jià)格合理方面的領(lǐng)先地位。

Equinor的海上風(fēng)電投資組合正在取得進(jìn)展，目前有幾個項(xiàng)目正在建設(shè)中，將在未來幾年投入生產(chǎn)。在這種高活動水平下，供應(yīng)鏈開發(fā)并不短缺，特別是因?yàn)镋quinor的重點(diǎn)是為東道社區(qū)創(chuàng)造當(dāng)?shù)亟?jīng)濟(jì)價(jià)值和就業(yè)機(jī)會。在Hywind Tampen，挪威供應(yīng)商已獲得約60%的合同價(jià)值。

一旦Hywind Tampen建成，它將是第一個為石油和天然氣平臺提供電力的浮動風(fēng)電場，也是世界上最大的浮動風(fēng)電場。第一條海底電纜鋪設(shè)完成，并于近期與Gullfaks A進(jìn)行了連接，這是一個重要的里程碑。根據(jù)計(jì)劃，首批7臺Hywind Tampen渦輪機(jī)將于今年投產(chǎn)，最后4臺將于明年春天安裝。

Dogger Bank項(xiàng)目正在向前推進(jìn)，并在2022年7月安裝首批地基時(shí)，達(dá)到了一個重要的里程碑。第一次發(fā)電預(yù)計(jì)將于2023年下半年開始，Dogger Bank A、B、C分別將于2024年、2025年、2026開始商業(yè)運(yùn)營。

挪威國家石油公司北?？稍偕茉锤呒壐笨偛肨rine Borum Bojsen補(bǔ)充道，北海是Equinor海上風(fēng)電業(yè)務(wù)的基石，在未來許多年中，它將是歐洲發(fā)電的關(guān)鍵樞紐中心。憑借Dogger Bank和Hywind Tampen，我們正在積累超過15年的風(fēng)電場經(jīng)驗(yàn)和50年在北海惡劣環(huán)境中運(yùn)營的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。我們的第一個海上風(fēng)電場，蘇格蘭Hywind，幾年來已達(dá)到英國所有風(fēng)電場的最高平均容量因數(shù)，并且由于預(yù)計(jì)海上風(fēng)電場將在未來海上風(fēng)電行業(yè)中發(fā)揮關(guān)鍵作用，Equinor憑借我們的經(jīng)驗(yàn)處于獨(dú)一無二的位置。

Equinor及其合作伙伴最近在卑爾根（Bergen）外成立了一個1吉瓦的海上浮式風(fēng)力發(fā)電場Trollvind，有望于2027年開始運(yùn)營。來自Trollvind的電力將為石油和天然氣設(shè)施的電氣化作出堅(jiān)實(shí)的貢獻(xiàn)，為卑爾根地區(qū)提供額外的電力，并加快挪威海上風(fēng)力開發(fā)。

Equinor補(bǔ)充道，擴(kuò)大風(fēng)電場的規(guī)模是實(shí)現(xiàn)浮動海上風(fēng)能工業(yè)化和降低成本的關(guān)鍵。按照Trollvind的概念，將海上風(fēng)電轉(zhuǎn)移到岸上，將有可能建造一個比直接連接到海上油氣設(shè)施的風(fēng)電場更大的風(fēng)電場。通過與可調(diào)節(jié)的水力發(fā)電和陸上工業(yè)更好地互動，將電力帶到岸上還能促進(jìn)更高效的電力利用。這一地區(qū)電力供應(yīng)的增加也意味著石油和天然氣設(shè)施供應(yīng)的安全性的提高。Trollvind位于業(yè)內(nèi)知名的地理區(qū)域，目前該概念正在進(jìn)一步成熟，目標(biāo)是在2023年做出投資決策。

Equinor Preparing To Start Up Two Major Wind Projects

Equinor is close to first power from the world’s first floating wind farm to power offshore oil and gas platforms and the start-up of the world’s largest wind farm.

The two projects in question are Hywind Tampen and Dogger Bank, both located in the North Sea where Equinor has more than ten years of experience operating offshore wind farms.

“The North Sea will continue to play a key role in Europe’s energy transition and security towards 2050. The region is expanding from oil and gas production into a broad energy province utilizing world-class offshore wind resources. The North Sea is uniquely positioned to help meet European objectives of reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy supplies.”

“Renewable mega-projects like Dogger Bank and Hywind Tampen are nearing start-up, enabling Equinor to boost renewable energy to the European market. New projects such as Trollvind and Utsira Nord have the potential to deepen Norway’s lead in making floating offshore wind competitive and affordable,” says P?l Eitrheim, executive vice president for Renewables at Equinor.

Equinor’s offshore wind portfolio is progressing with several projects currently under construction that will be put into production in the coming years. With this high activity level, there is no shortage of supply chain development, particularly as Equinor’s focus is on creating local economic value and jobs for host communities. At Hywind Tampen, Norwegian suppliers have secured about 60 percent of the contract value.

once Hywind Tampen is completed, it will both be the first floating wind farm to supply electricity to oil and gas platforms, and also the world's largest floating wind farm. An important milestone was reached when the first subsea cables were laid, and the connection was made to Gullfaks A recently. The seven first Hywind Tampen turbines will come on stream this year according to plan and the final four will be installed next spring.

The Dogger Bank project is moving forward and reached an important milestone when the first foundations were installed in July 2022. First power is expected in the second half of 2023, with commercial operations beginning in 2024 for Dogger Bank A, 2025 for Dogger Bank B, and 2026 for Dogger Bank C respectively.

“The North Sea is a cornerstone for Equinor’s offshore wind business and will be a key hub for power generation for Europe for many years to come. With Dogger Bank and Hywind Tampen we are building on more than 15 years of wind farm experience and 50 years of experience operating in the harsh environments of the North Sea.”

“Our first floating offshore wind farm, Hywind Scotland, has for several years reached the highest average capacity factor for any wind farm in the UK, and with floating wind anticipated to play a key role in the offshore wind industry of the future, Equinor is uniquely placed with our learnings,” added Trine Borum Bojsen, SVP for North Sea Renewables at Equinor.

Equinor and partners recently launched Trollvind, a 1 GW floating offshore wind farm outside Bergen with a potential start-up of operations in 2027. Power from Trollvind will make a solid contribution to the electrification of oil and gas installations, deliver extra power to the Bergen region, and accelerate offshore wind development in Norway.

Equinor added that increasing the size of wind farms was key to industrializing floating offshore wind and reducing costs. Transferring offshore wind power to shore, as the Trollvind concept, will enable the possibility to build a larger wind farm than one directly connected to oil and gas installations offshore.

Bringing the power to shore also promotes more efficient power utilization through better interaction with regulated hydropower and onshore industry. Increased access to power in this area also means improved security of supply for the oil and gas installations. Trollvind is in a geographical area that is well known by the industry and the concept is now being further matured aiming at an investment decision during 2023.
