Teledyne Marine’s Post

We’re happy to announce that Daniel Kennedy, P.E. will be moderating the Port Scale-Up Needs on East and West Coasts: What are the latest plans for US Ports? panel at the #AFloat2023 conference! Panel Description: What are the unique port needs for marshaling, fabricating, and launching floating wind turbines?  What port facilities exist that can allow the fabrication and deployment of floating wind projects in the US? What upgrades are needed for these facilities? What has been learned from demonstration projects to inform port designs? How can ports be designed so that they accommodate increasing turbine sizes and various hull designs? What hull throughput is desired? Dan Kennedy is the Director of Engineering at Diamond Offshore Wind and we’re happy to have them at the upcoming AFloat Conference!

February saw a great meeting of #Metocean minds as we welcomed our colleagues from #OWCGermany to the INNOSEA HQ in Nantes for a knowledge exchange on metocean measurements and data analysis for #OffshoreWind and other #MarineRenewableEnergy technologies 👇🏼🌊 Read the article in full on how the day went 👉🏼 https://lnkd.in/dm-eQfzX Metocean and measurements advisory are critical elements in the planning and development of offshore, #FloatingWind, #FloatingSolarPV and #WaveEnergy technologies. An in-depth understanding of metocean conditions at a particular offshore site, has a direct impact on the long-term commercial feasibility of a project for several reasons including its impact on 👇🏼 💡 Energy resource and yield assessment 💡 Design and engineering 💡 Operational efficiency 💡 Risk mitigation at both transportation & installation (T&I) and operations & maintenance (O&M) phases 💡 Safety 📞📧 Get in touch with our Head of Metocean and Measurements Advisory Patrick Schwenk, to find out more about our in-house global offering, adding value throughout the lifecycle of a #RenewableEnergy project 👉🏼 https://lnkd.in/duHbJr4h #TheRenewableEnergyConsultants #EnergyandOceans

HBK - Hottinger Brüel & Kjær first installation in an offshore wind turbine was in 2003 and there have been many since, from jackets to gravity bases to monopile structures. In the graph below, we look at a typical installation: A monopile with a condition monitoring system in the foundation, designed primarily for short-term (a few years) measurements of the critical areas of the foundation. The same system will continue to operate well beyond this and, in any case, the costs are the same regardless of the length of the measurement campaign.

Take a look inside the Wind Turbine 👇 So Wind Turbines have four main parts: the foundation, the tower, the nacelle, and the rotor. The foundation holds up the wind turbine and the tower connects everything. It's connected to the nacelle and rotor and is used to climb to the top of the tower follow for more updates #windturbine #turbine #windenergy #engineering #windturbines #viralvideo

Teesside is a hub for offshore wind energy projects and hosts several important research centres and manufacturing facilities. In the 5cm aerial image below, recently captured as part of our annual CityView program, you can clearly see the wind turbines assembled and ready to go at one such manufacturing plant. Seeing the turbines from this aerial perspective gives an appreciation of the scale and complexities of transporting these huge pieces of equipment. High-resolution aerial imagery plays a pivotal role in helping energy providers at various stages of energy project development, from initial site selection and feasibility studies to construction monitoring and ongoing maintenance.

German authorities have approved plans for two new offshore wind power connections - OSTWIND 3 in the Baltic Sea and DolWin4 in the North Sea. Ostwind 3 will transmit 300MW of power from turbines 42km off Rugen island via a 100km cable to a new substation, starting operations in 2026. DolWin4 will connect a new platform 45km off Norderney island to transmit 900MW of power, with compensation measures like reintroducing oysters required for the environmental impact. The offshore grid connections will help Germany expand renewable wind energy and are set to begin operations between 2026-2028.

For the past two years, MARIN has supported Dutch startup Tetrahedron to design, verify and improve the performance of an innovative tag line system applied on its novel crane, which was winner of the 2020 Offshore Wind Innovators Award. The Tetrahedron crane aims at increasing the lifting height of cranes on jack-up vessels for the installation and maintenance of wind turbines. This enables the use of vessels which otherwise would become obsolete for handling modern and next generation wind turbines. A well-performing tag line system in various environmental conditions is a key requirement for efficient offshore wind installation and maintenance operations. The Diamond tag line system is developed as a simple system for effectively constraining load motions in a wide range of blade positions and orientations. The video below (20x FF) shows a fast-time simulation of a 12MW+ wind turbine blade lifting operation in strong (6bft) wind conditions. While operator actions are prescribed to manoeuvre the crane, the Diamond tag line system controller actively mitigates the tilt and yaw disturbances of the blade, respecting tagline load limitations. Final validation of the numerical results is envisaged for 2024, after construction of the Tetrahedron crane full-scale prototype. For more information about Tetrahedron, contact Alexander Ronse. For more information about the assessment of fixed or floating offshore wind operations, contact Bruno Rossin, senior project manager at MARIN. This project was supported by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, with a subsidy from Topsector Energie. #offshorewind #bettershipsblueoceans #simplyliftinghigh

🪙 Reducing the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE) is paramount for Floating Offshore Wind and at the core of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) inter-agency initiative Floating Offshore Wind Shot, which targets a 70 percent reduction by 2035.   Bruce Martin and Bradley A Ling, Senior R&D Engineers at Principle Power, will return to the 4th Annual Offshore Wind R&D Symposium to explain how we’re advancing the industry with projects like DeepFarm and ShallowFloat, supported by the National Offshore Wind Research & Development Consortium (NOWRDC):   👉🏼 DeepFarm leverages the expertise and real-world experience of industry partners and academic researchers to determine the optimal mooring designs for deep water commercial-scale floating offshore wind projects.   One of the studies includes the farm-level cost differences between the use of standard single anchors and shared anchor solutions. The use of shared anchors can provide significant improvements in cost and installation requirements.   👉🏼 ShallowFloat aims to explore a low-cost, shallow water mooring solution incorporating an innovative polymer spring into the mooring line, the SeaSpring developed by TFI Marine.   This solution seeks Approval-in-Principle (AIP) from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and is expected to alleviate extreme anchor tensions, leading to smaller anchor and chain  size, as well as reduce installation vessel requirements, enabling reductions in cost.   Save the date: December 5, 3:45 PM (EST) Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gnEHMCHz   #300X30 #PrinciplePower #windfloat #renewableenergy #offshorewind #floatingwind #netzero
