Subestación Iberdrola

Iberdrola installs the substation for its first large offshore wind farm in France / Iberdrola instala la subestación de su primer gran parque eólico marino en Francia

Posted on July 14, 2022July 13, 2022 by BP

This infrastructure, weighing some 3,400 tons, will be the energy heart of the 500 MW Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm, Iberdrola’s first in France and the second in operation in the country. The substation will collect the electricity produced by the offshore wind turbines, enough to meet the needs of 835,000 households and avoid the emission of almost 200,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere per year.

La infraestructura, de unas 3.400 toneladas de peso, será el corazón energético del parque eólico marino de Saint-Brieuc de 500 MW, el primero de Iberdrola en Francia y el segundo en funcionamiento en este país. La subestación recogerá la electricidad producida por los aerogeneradores en alta mar, suficiente para atender las necesidades de 835.00 hogares y evitar la emisión a la atmósfera de casi 200.000 toneladas de CO2 al año.

Iberdrola has successfully completed the offshore installation of the substation for the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm in Brittany, France. This infrastructure will be the energy center of the facility which, once it comes into operation in 2023, will become Iberdrola’s first major site of this technology in France, the company’s fourth in the world, and the second in operation in France.

Weighing some 3,400 tons – heavier than 20 Boeing 747 aircraft – this substation will be responsible for collecting all the electricity produced by the plant’s 62 wind turbines, estimated at 1,820 GWh/year. The production is enough to supply the needs of 835,000 homes, including heating, and avoid the emission of almost 200,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere per year.

To transfer the electricity generated to land, the company will install 90 kilometers of submarine cable, almost three times the length usually required for an onshore wind farm. All cables between wind turbines will be buried to ensure the safety of navigation and the maintenance of fishing activities within the wind farm.

This electrical distribution infrastructure was manufactured in Belgium by a joint venture between Smulders (a subsidiary of Eiffage Metal) and Equans. The former has carried out the engineering and construction of both the foundations and the substation that houses the transformers and other electrical equipment – supplied by GE Renewable Energy Grid Solutions -, while the latter has carried out its assembly and will be responsible for its commissioning.

The structure supporting this substation consists of a 63-meter-high jacket foundation weighing 1,630 tons. The substation is 55 meters long, 31 meters wide and 23 meters high, with a total weight of approximately 3,400 tons.

Both elements arrived in the area of the park at the end of June from the Belgian shipyards of Equans, in Hoboken, and Heerema Fabrication Group, in Vlissingen, where the substation and the foundation have been manufactured, respectively.

According to Emmanuel Rollin, head of Iberdrola’s offshore business in France, when this facility comes into operation, “the Côtes d’Armor department, with the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm at its head, will be the leading contributor of renewable energy in Brittany, producing the equivalent of 9% of the region’s total electricity consumption”.

La infraestructura, de unas 3.400 toneladas de peso, será el corazón energético del parque eólico marino de Saint-Brieuc de 500 MW, el primero de Iberdrola en Francia y el segundo en funcionamiento en este país. La subestación recogerá la electricidad producida por los aerogeneradores en alta mar, suficiente para atender las necesidades de 835.00 hogares y evitar la emisión a la atmósfera de casi 200.000 toneladas de CO2 al año.

Iberdrola ha culminado con éxito la instalación en alta mar de la subestación del parque eólico marino Saint-Brieuc, en la Bretaña francesa. Esta infraestructura será el centro energético de la instalación que, una vez que entre en operación en 2023, se convertirá en el primer gran emplazamiento de Iberdrola de esta tecnología en Francia, el cuarto de la compañía del mundo, y el segundo en funcionamiento en Francia.

Con unas 3.400 toneladas de peso – más pesada que 20 aviones Boeing 747 – esta subestación será la encargada de recoger toda la electricidad producida por los 62 aerogeneradores con los que contará la planta, estimada en unos 1.820 GWh/año. La producción es suficiente como para abastecer las necesidades de 835.000 hogares, incluida la calefacción, y evitar la emisión a la atmósfera de casi 200.000 toneladas de CO2 al año.

Para trasladar a tierra la electricidad generada, la compañía instalará 90 kilómetros de cable submarino, casi tres veces más longitud que la necesaria habitualmente en un parque eólico terrestre. Todos los cables entre aerogeneradores serán enterrados, para garantizar la seguridad de la navegación y el mantenimiento de las actividades pesqueras dentro del parque.

Esta infraestructura de distribución eléctrica ha sido fabricada en Bélgica por una joint venture integrada por Smulders (filial de Eiffage Metal) y Equans. La primera ha realizado la ingeniería y construcción tanto de la cimentación como de la subestación que aloja los transformadores y resto de equipamientos eléctricos – suministrados por GE Renewable Energy Grid Solutions -, mientras que la segunda ha llevado a cabo su ensamblaje y se encargará de su puesta en marcha.

La estructura que soporta esta subestación está formada por una cimentación (jacket) de 63 metros de altura y un peso de 1.630 toneladas. La subestación mide de 55 metros de largo, 31 metros de ancho y 23 metros de altura, con un peso total aproximado de 3.400 toneladas.

Ambos elementos llegaron a la zona del parque a finales de junio procedentes de los astilleros belgas de Equans, en Hoboken, y de Heerema Fabrication Group, en Vlissingen, donde se han fabricado la subestación y la cimentación, respectivamente.

Según ha destacado el responsable del negocio offshore de Iberdrola en Francia, Emmanuel Rollin, cuando esta instalación entre en funcionamiento, “el departamento de Côtes d’Armor, con el parque eólico marino de Saint-Brieuc a la cabeza, será el primer contribuyente de energía renovable en Bretaña, produciendo el equivalente al 9% del consumo total de electricidad de la región”.
