The first two 1.2 GW phases of what will become the world’s largest offshore wind farm, Dogger Bank A and Dogger Bank B, will comprise 95 Haliade-X 13 MW turbines each, while Dogger Bank C will feature 87 Haliade-X 14 MW turbines .
This year, a couple of blade failures happened at the Dogger Bank A. At the beginning of May, a blade sustained damage, after which GE Vernova launched an investigation into the cause of the incident. The company’s initial findings were that the circumstances surrounding the incident were isolated to the single blade affected and that the damage was due to an installation error.
Several months later, another blade failure event occurred at the first phase, which was not caused by an installation or manufacturing issue but happened during the commissioning process, according to an analysis conducted by the wind turbine manufacturer.
When fully complete in 2027, the 3.6 GW Dogger Bank will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm, capable of powering around six million UK homes annually.
SSE Renewables is leading the construction of the project on behalf of the three joint venture partners. Equinor will be the lead operator of the wind farm on completion for its expected operational life of around 35 years.
