Environmental impact measurements Offshore Wind Farm Egmond aan Zee
Description
Concerns monitoring data. Offshore Windpark Egmond aan Zee is the first offshore wind farm built in the North Sea off the Dutch coast. The park consists of 36 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 3 MW. The location of the park is 10 to 18 kilometers from the coast at Egmond aan Zee. It is a demonstration park: The knowledge and experience gained here is important for the further development of offshore wind energy. This concerns technology, ecology, economic and social feasibility. NoordzeeWind, a consortium of Nuon and Shell and owner of OWEZ, won the tender for OWEZ in combination with the so-called MEP-NSW research programme, a research programme set up by the Dutch government in 2006. It contains learning objectives for the development of wind at sea. The MEP-NSW has contributed significantly to the learning objectives of offshore wind energy. The following ecological issues are central to the monitoring and evaluation programme: •Birds: flight patterns, presence, intensity, season, day/night due to collision risk assessment: Birds: disturbance of habitat/foraging area, barrier effect. The influence of underwater noise on fish and marine mammals. The variation and densities of marine life and its function as a refugium.
