Dominion能源12兆瓦海上风电场准备投用

中国石化新闻网讯 据离岸工程网站10月14日消息 Dominion能源公司表示，其两个涡轮机、12兆瓦的弗吉尼亚沿海海上风电（CVOW）试点项目Offshore Virginia Beach成功完成了可靠性测试，并准备投入商业服务，为弗吉尼亚州的客户提供电力。

    Dominion能源海上风电公司副总裁Joshua Bennett说：“这对英联邦和美国新兴的海上风电行业来说是一个具有纪念意义的日子，因为CVOW已经准备好向我们弗吉尼亚州的客户提供清洁、可再生的能源。我们的团队在安全度过冠状病毒大流行期间，与主要利益相关者和监管机构勤奋合作，完成了这一至关重要的项目，这是减少碳排放的关键一步。”

    在离海岸27英里的地方安装这两台试点涡轮机，已于今年6月完成。Ørsted担任试点项目的海洋工程、采购和施工负责人。

    Dominion能源表示，CVOW的下一个重要监管步骤是向海洋能源管理局（BOEM）提交最终文件，以完成其技术审查，预计在今年年底完成。

    USA: Dominion Energy's 12MW Offshore Wind Farm Ready to Enter Service

    Dominion Energy has said that its two-turbine, 12-megawatt Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) pilot project, offshore Virginia Beach, successfully completed reliability testing and is ready to enter commercial service and deliver electricity to Virginia customers.

    "This is a monumental day for the Commonwealth and the burgeoning offshore wind industry in America as CVOW is ready to deliver clean, renewable energy to our Virginia customers," said Joshua Bennett, Dominion Energy vice president of offshore wind. "Our team has worked diligently with key stakeholders and regulators while safely navigating through the coronavirus pandemic to complete this vitally important project that is a key step to reducing carbon emissions."

    The installation of the two pilot turbines, at a site 27 miles off the coast, was completed in June. Ørsted served as the offshore engineering, procurement and construction lead for the pilot project.

    Dominion Energy said that the next significant regulatory step for CVOW is to submit the final documentation for the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to complete its technical review, which is expected to be complete by the end of the year.
