Narec's plans to develop an offshore wind farm site in the North Sea, comprising 20 !pre-consented "pods", at which tenants may deploy their prototype or demonstrationturbines and foundations. These pods will be in four rows, increasing in distanceoffshore and with water depths of 15, 35, 45 and 55 metres to allow testing ofalternative installation and foundation types, as indicated below. It would provide anoffshore wind demonstration site with conditions representative of typical Round 3offshore wind projects.The first phase of this development comprises expenditure of £18.5 million, plannedto be funded by DECC, and covering the cost of acquiring the two near shoreturbines, together with building the onshore grid connection substation and anoffshore environmental monitoring station and undertaking environmental monitoringprior to deployment of additional turbines in the offshore pods. Currently there is aninformation failure around the understanding of prototype wind farm design foroffshore applications. The funding will also cover Narec support projects in wind andmarine and site infrastructure development required. £4.35 SP will complement thisgovernment funding in 2011/12 to complete electrical infrastructure work required toform a connection point onshore for accepting the offshore energy generated.The two existing turbines which are about 1 km from the coastline are likely to be 1used as 'test beds' for new components. It is not anticipated that they will 'appear' !any different as their overall dimensions will remain the same and no changes areenvisioned to their foundations however it is likely that equipment will be attached tothe turbines for testing (possibly wave power generation). The five turbines locatedwithin the first row of the new demonstration site are expected to be 'prototypes' built 1'by manufacturers that cannot secure onshore sites for testing due to the size of thenew turbines and possibly noise and visual issues. These turbines will be installed at Ileast 2km from the shoreline.

Narec计划在北海开发一个海上风电场，包括20个！预先同意的“豆荚”，租户可以部署他们的原型或示范涡轮机和基础。这些吊舱将分为四排，离岸距离增加，水深为15米、35米、45米和55米，以便测试替代安装和基础类型，如下所示。它将提供一个海上风电示范场，其条件代表典型的第三轮海上风电项目。该开发的第一阶段包括1850万英镑的支出，计划由DECC资助，并包括购买两台近岸涡轮机的成本，同时建设陆上并网变电站和海上环境监测站，并在部署前进行环境监测，海上吊舱里的额外涡轮机目前，在理解海上应用的原型风电场设计方面存在信息缺失。这笔资金还将用于Narec在风能和海洋方面的支持项目以及所需的现场基础设施开发。4.35英镑的SP将在2011/12年度补充这项政府资金，以完成电力基础设施工程，从而在岸上形成一个连接点，以接受海上发电。距离海岸线约1公里的两个现有涡轮机可能被用作新组件的“试验台”。他们不会“出现”的！任何不同的，因为它们的整体尺寸将保持相同，并且没有改变被设想到它们的基础，然而，很可能设备将被连接到涡轮机用于测试（可能是波浪发电）。位于新示范点第一排的五台涡轮机预计将是制造商制造的“原型"，由于新涡轮机的尺寸以及可能的噪音和视觉问题，制造商无法确保陆上场地进行测试。这些涡轮机将安装在距离海岸线至少2公里的地方。
