The Cibuk Wind Park will be constructed at about 50 kilometers from Belgrade in AP Vojvodina, in the Kovin municipality. The wind park will cover the surface of 36 square meters in the village of Mramorak and will border the villages of Vladimirovac, Devojacki Bunar, Dolovo and Bavaniste. The well-known location of the Deliblato Sands lies about a kilometer far from the Cibuk wind park.
As planned, the Cibuk wind park will have 57 wind turbines whose power will be 2.78 MW each. Their total capacity will be 158.4 MW. The maximum height of a turbine will be 170 meters, of which the height of each column will be 110 meters while blades will have about 60 meters. Within the wind park there will be a substation and a Command and Operational Building. As planned an 11-km long-distance power line will transmit power through the territory of Kovin municipality and the town of Pancevo.
Transportation will be organized according to the special rules for heavy loads. This process will have three phases – river transport to the Port of Pancevo, then by motorway (E70) from the port to the local roads in the vicinity of wind park and then by local roads leading to the entrance of wind park. The last part of transportation will take place within the wind park through routes which will be especially constructed for this purpose i.e. so as to carry 60 tons of cargo with a controlled slope grade of 2 to 7 percent.
When the works on the Cibuk wind park start on the site, it is planned to begin first with construction of the access roads and the foundations for wind turbines. Approximately, the construction of wind park should be completed by the end of 2018. This means that then it could be expected that this wind farm starts producing the first megawatts. The progress depends on the secondary legislation to be passed within the Law on Energy. If by March 2016 we can get the legal framework, it could be expected that the above works would follow the above schedule.
The lifetime of a wind park is 25 years. After that period follows revision that can prolong its lifetime for the next 12 years. With today’s fast advance of technology in this field, it can be expected that lifetime of wind parks in the close future will be prolonged by applying some other technique.
