据Renewables Now网站8月27日报道，位于苏格兰阿伯丁近海岸的50兆瓦Kincardine浮式海上风电场已经投产，该风电场是全球最大的海上风电场。
美国航运局(ABS)将该项目列为“世界上最大的浮动海上风力发电场”，并于本周早些时候宣布该项目已完成。
该风电场位于阿伯丁近海岸15公里（合9英里）处，使用维斯塔斯风力系统公司（CPH:VWS）提供的五台V164 9.5兆瓦涡轮机和一台V80-2.0兆瓦机器，安装在60米（合197英尺）至80米的水深处。据估计，该电场每年发电量高达218吉瓦时，足以满足约55000户苏格兰家庭的用电量。
该项目由试点海上可再生能源 (POR) 旗下的 Kincardine Offshore Wind 开发。西班牙建筑工程集团 ACS (BME:ACS) 通过其子公司 Cobra Wind 负责风电场的工程、设计、供应、施工和调试。Kincardine于2018年末首次发电。
ABS全球海上业务高级副总裁马修·特伦布雷(Matthew Tremblay)表示，这个令人兴奋的项目展示了浮动涡轮机的潜力，我们相信它们将在全世界可持续能源发展中发挥越来越突出的作用。

World’s largest floating wind farm is powered up in Scottish waters
The 50-MW Kincardine floating offshore wind farm off the coast of Aberdeen, Scotland, the largest align="justify"> The classification as “the world’s largest floating offshore wind farm” was given by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), which announced the project completion earlier this week.
Located 15 km (9 miles) off the coast of Aberdeen, the wind park uses five V164 9.5 MW turbines plus align="justify"> The project was developed by Kincardine Offshore Wind, a unit of Pilot Offshore Renewables (POR). Spanish construction engineering group ACS (BME:ACS), through its subsidiary Cobra Wind, was tasked with the engineering, design, supply, construction and commissioning of the wind farm. Kincardine generated first power in late 2018.
“This exciting project demonstrates the potential of floating turbines and we are confident they will have an increasingly prominent role to play in the development of sustainable energy all over the world,” said Matthew Tremblay, ABS’ senior vice president, global offshore.
