The floating wind energy developers are advancing project cost reductions through technology innovation to improve the overall economics. Towards this goal the industry is improving the electrical infrastructure, highly stable floating platform designs & larger turbines. The latter two require significantly increased anchoring capacities beyond what's currently available in the market. Subsea Drive Corporation is transforming deepwater drilling technology to be the leader in high-capacity reliable anchoring to support the floating wind energy development.

Major Milestone Achieved! Wind Osprey Crane Installation Completed We are thrilled to announce that, following the Wind Orca, Wind Osprey has now been equipped with its boom! In a successful operation, the final piece of the crane puzzle was installed, marking the completion of the installation phase for the 1600 mt leg crane. This also marks the last major lift of Mammoets PTC210-DS ring crane for this remodification project. Cadelers Wind Orca and Wind Osprey are now ready for the next project phase: reeving the wire ropes and commissioning the cranes, preparing them for the installation of the next generation offshore wind turbines. Another job well done by the GustoMSC, Cadeler and Mammoet crew! Check out our digital platform InSide to follow our journey to make the vessels ready for the future of offshore renewable energy👉 https://lnkd.in/esVxE9JS Video credit: Gaby AF #offshorewind #crane #HeavyLift #cooperation #EngineeringMarvels Marine and Construction
Floating platforms. The WFA wind farm consists of three wind turbines supported by three semi-submersible floating structures. The design is based on WindFloat technology developed by Principle Power Inc. This technology can expand the capabilities of oil drilling platforms to harness offshore wind energy. Main features of this technology: It allows the installation of multi-megawatt wind turbines at depths of more than 50 m (164 ft). Each wind turbine operates on top of a floating platform, moored to the seabed by cables and chains to ensure its stability. The system eliminates the need for complex offshore operations associated with the construction of traditional fixed structures, thereby reducing its environmental impact. The platform and wind turbine are assembled at the port and then towed to their location.

In submerged arc welding, Stick Out, is the distance between the contact tip and the work piece. This distance can be increased using dedicated extensions of various lengths to obtain what is known as Long Stick Out (LSO).

Floating wind industry progresses and the DemoSATH project is the demonstration of the feasibility and viability of floating offshore wind technology.
Vertical take-off | First cash for a floating wind turbine that wants to change the game • SeaTwirl vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) has secured an agreement to explore decarbonization of offshore oil & gas operations • SeaTwirl's VAWT marks a groundbreaking achievement as the first of its kind to be successfully deployed at a quasi-industrial scale Our thoughts While cutting costs and improving the efficiency of existing technologies can help aid the energy transition, it is equally crucial to prioritize the development of novel innovations that can potentially revolutionize existing workflows and disrupt the industry. SeaTwirl’s vertical axis floating wind turbine is one such innovation.

Summary of our joint effort with AMOG in assessing mooring system properties. Key takeaway: 1. Degradation threats are similar to oil and gas assets. 2. Fatigue loads are key and designing mooring lines for fatigue is a different story 3. Understanding the risk is key and having redundancy reduces risk. 4. Mooring integrity and detailed monitoring is important and reduces the risk of failures. 5. Standardization is needed an will help to reduce costs. Read more below in the official announcement about the findings and talk to each other to advance the technology! #windinnovation #offshorewidn sowento
Mooring systems are a crucial component of floating offshore wind turbines. As floating arrays move further offshore and turbine size increases, their reliability faces challenges due to increased and varied dynamic loading. To mitigate potential failures, higher design conservatism and redundancy are crucial but come at a cost — increasing both capital and operational expenses. The 'Mooring systems redundancy, reliability and integrity' project, delivered through the Floating Wind Joint Industry Programme, investigated if high failure rates seen in other sectors should be applied to floating offshore wind. It sought to understand and identify how the industry can quantify potential floating wind-specific failures within project planning.

Our proven Barlatch helps answer a lot of the issues raised. Please reach out to discuss further. The fatigue issue (IPB and OPB) and chain wear are mitigated with the bearings Bardex uses. They were developed to account for the “dither” type oscillation in offshore mooring applications. The combination of the main housing and latch housing configuration with bearing selection , creates a condition where the break out angle is very low . The relative motion is taken in the Barlatch bearing and structure and not in the mooring chain. The Barlatch structure and bearings are a known and calculable component(s) based on loading histograms. https://lnkd.in/g9nYnfuC

CONSTRUCTION STARTS ON HE DREIHT OFFSHORE WIND MEGA-PROJECT Construction is underway on one of Germany's largest offshore wind farms - the 960 MW He Dreiht project in the North Sea. Developer EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG has begun installing the first of hundreds of monumental monopile foundations for the €2.4 billion wind farm. The Thialf floating crane recently positioned the first 70-metre long, 1,350-ton steel monopile foundations on the seabed 85 km off the island of Borkum. At peak times, over 500 workers and 60 ships will be involved in construction. He Dreiht will use 15 MW Vestas turbines, with the components currently being manufactured in parallel. The turbines and array cables will be installed in early 2025, allowing the full wind farm to enter operation late next year. German grid operator TenneT will connect He Dreiht via 120 km of subsea cables to an onshore converter station. ⚡ Follow MPS (Modern Power Systems) for all the latest news daily from the global power generation industry ⚡ #MPS #power #energy #powergeneration #windenergy #renewableenergy
