Etats-Unis – Mercredi 5/10/2016 – Quotidienne energiesdelamer.eu. Barry Cassell, analyste en chef de GenerationHub vient de publier un article sur un projet d’interconnection proposé par PJM à un emplacement désigné par US Wind. Une étude pour 2020.
Il permettrait d’interconnecter 500MW d’électricité produite par des éoliennes en mer. Plusieurs hypothèses sont évoquées dont une, proposée par GE avec 42 Haliade 150-6MW ou 62 de 4 MW qui serait interconnectées à un autre projet de 230-KV.
US Wind Inc. has proposed a 247.8 MW MFO (64.4 MWC) offshore wind facility to be located in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 14 miles off the coast of Ocean City, Maryland.
A September 2016 study on the project from PJM Interconnection said that PJM studied this project, under queue #AB1-056, as a 247.8 MW injection into the Delmarva Power and Light system and evaluated it for compliance with reliability criteria for summer peak conditions in 2019. Project AB1-056 was studied with a commercial probability of 100%.
The planned in-service date, as stated during the kick-off call, is March 1, 2020.
AB1-056 will interconnect with the Delmarva Power and Light system at the Indian River 230-kV North Substation at a 230-kV terminal off an existing 230-kV breaker and a half leg within the substation.
At one point in the study, this project is said to consist of 62 offshore 4-MW wind turbines. At another point, the study says the project consists of 41 General Electric Haliade-150 6-MW wind turbines. Both versions total around 246-248 MW.
The intent of this System Impact Study is to determine a plan, with approximate cost and construction time estimates, to connect the subject generation interconnection project to the PJM network at a location specified by US Wind. This is a mid-point in the PJM queue process.
PJM has issued a similar September 2016 study showing that US Wind has proposed a 251.8 MW MFO (65.4 MWC) wind facility to be located in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 14 miles off the coast of Ocean City, Maryland. PJM studied this project, under queue #AB1-057, as a 251.8 MW injection into the Delmarva Power and Light system at the Indian River 230-kV Substation and evaluated it for compliance with reliability criteria for summer peak conditions in 2019. The planned in-service date, as stated during the kick-off call, is March 1, 2020.
At one point, the study said the project consists of 42 GE Haliade-150 6-MW wind turbines. At another point it said the project will consist of 62 offshore 4-MW wind turbines.
