Hornsea 2: how big is the world’s largest offshore wind farm?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2022
- Hornsea Two is the world’s largest offshore windfarm located approximately 89km off the Yorkshire coast. It will be able to meet the electricity needs of up to 1.3 million homes per year, and bring low carbon power to the UK and the opportunity for economic growth in the Humber region.

The problem that needs to be addressed with wind-farm and the same goes for solar is that electricity storage needs to be included as part of the mix. There is too much being wasted when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining when the output outstrips the demand.
Countries can continue building larger wind-farms but also they need to find ways to store the excess energy that is produced, otherwise there will always be a need for nuclear, gas, oil, coal backups.
In most cases electricity storage is inefficiency and/or costly, battery farms are expensive. However, it is probably better to have it stored inefficiently rather than what happens at the moment which is to stop generating when the demand is not there.
To ensure a stable and clean energy supply to the world, we need different kinds of renewable energy sources like wind, solar, sustainably sourced bioenergy, and storage solutions to increase flexibility. So when we say we want to create a world that runs entirely on green energy, we don’t just mean wind power but all kinds of renewable energy sources.
Fantastic Job & company. Looking forward to your other projects.
Very cool
Thank you, but please keep updating videos
What systems are in place to prevent gearbox and hydraulic oil from draining into the ocean when faults occur?

Why is the west so slow when it comes to renewables? While the rest of the world is heavily investing in them.
Inflation and supply chain issues. Ørsted's Ocean Wind 1 in NJ is delayed until 2026. They even thought of walking away from the project.
nuclear power is the future
Nuclear power is the meanwhile.

@@yxngbt387 what are you babbling on about? Wind turbines aren't made out of fiberglass. It took you nine months to come up with this idiocy.
Today, all of the UK turbines are producing just 0.5GW. The UK demand
todayis 31GW. These things are usless in the UK, as we have long periods
during the Winter and Summer with very little or no wind.
I have discovered that any post I make that include a link to the uk templar website that shows details of the various energy generation, including wind turbines, is automatically removed at once. It shows the extremely low amount of energy that turbines produce, so youtube must have been asked to delete my posts
I'm extremely proud of this achievement.
We have over 1,000 offshore wind turbines installed that produce 4.9 GW and enough green energy to power over 4.2 million UK homes a year. This will increase to 5.5 million following the completion of Hornsea 2 offshore wind farm later this year and even further with Hornsea 3, that’s just been awarded a contract as the world’s single largest offshore wind farm. With a capacity of 2,852 MW, Hornsea 3 will produce enough low-cost, clean, and renewable electricity to power 3.2 million UK homes, making a significant contribution to the UK Government’s ambition of having 50 GW offshore wind in operation by 2030 as part of the British Energy Security Strategy.
But averaged over the year they produce at about 35% of max nameplate capacity. Look on another day and the wind % will be 10,20,30,40 even 50% of the National Grid - I've seen it as high as 18GW of wind energy!. And for every 1MWH of wind energy generated that's totally renewable that's 1MWH of gas we don't need to burn, to buy off Russia, America, Australia even (as was in the news yesterday) - or buy at 10x the price it was last year! Yes, gas being shipped from Australia now in liquified gas container ships!!!
Uh oh looks like someone on the internet thought he knew better than 1,000s of experts and investors!

At the end of the day we got no choice, we will certainly run out of gas, coal and oil and just sitting on our ass waiting for that to happen is not an option. A transition to renewable energy is inevitable and what Ørsted are doing is allowing us to become a self sufficient island which we don't need to rely on other countries to keep our kettles boiling. All it takes is for one country to disrupt the supply chain for things to go completely side ways. We're clearly seeing that between Russia and Germany with the Nord Pipeline.
There is then the argument that oil is needed to grease the moving parts of turbines but a fraction is needed compared to using it to power veichles, cities, generators and venues.
andddddd... Godzilla comes up out of the ocean and smashes right through them. But, maybe not all of them. So, in a way.. Ørsted is Godzilla proof (or at least Godzilla resistant).
Ah, that’s where the subsidies go
It’s just unreal and they’re extremely unreliable
