Wind farm layout
Amrumbank West in a German offshore wind farm in the North Sea owned by RWE. It is located about 35 km northwest of the island of Heligoland and around 18 km south-west of the Amrum Bank sandbank. It consists of 80 turbines in waters 19–24 m deep.[1]
Construction cost was around €1 billion.[2] The project was delayed 15 months by the lack of power lines.[3] The 80 wind turbines are Siemens SWT-3.6–120 with a rated power of 3.6 MW and a rotor diameter of 120 meters.[4] Offshore construction began in 2013, and the first turbine was installed in February 2015. The wind farm was commissioned at the end of 2015.
