Summary
[edit]DescriptionOffshore transformer, Belfast - geograph.org.uk - 1524781.jpg |
English: Offshore transformer, Belfast 7,500 tonne offshore transformer platform at the Outfitting & Ship Repair Wharf in Belfast docks. The entire structure is to be known as transformer 'Bard 1'.
The steel superstructure of the transformer - which is actually the subsea foundation, or substructure - had just been completed in the building dock of Harland and Wolff, where it was attached to the 'yellow box' at the bottom - actually the Latvian built transformer which also houses a canteen, health clinic and sleeping quarters for 30 people. Earlier in the day the entire structure had been floated out from the building dock to this position where it will sit waiting for the arrival of tugboats to tow to its final destination - around 90 miles north of the German island of Borkum in the North Sea. Once there the self installing transformer will lower the substructure onto the seabed and lift itself out of the water. Connected to 60 offshore wind turbines, it will produce around 400mW of electricity by increasing the voltage of the alternating current from the windfarms from 33kV to 155kV before the power is transferred to a neighbouring converter platform and sent back to Germany for connection to the electricity network. See also 8465806 for some related images of the construction. |
