𝐈𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐠𝐢𝐮𝐦, 𝐚 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐚 Belgian company Parkwind has successfully tested an innovative new charging system that allows ships to receive power directly at sea without having to enter port. The system was deployed at the Nobelwind wind farm located 47 kilometers offshore. The power plant consists of 50 turbines and provides energy to about 190,000 households. The charging process is fully automated: it is enough to bring the ship to a special cable and wait for the automatic connection. During the tests, one of the CTV ships was successfully charged. Team members do not need to interact with the wires, which greatly simplifies the procedure. Currently, the charging station, located in the North Sea, delivers 2 MW of power to CTV vessels and up to 8 MW to local utility vehicles engaged in wind turbine maintenance. According to Parkwind, the system can also power the electrical systems of conventional vessels at sea. All electrical cables are placed in a surface position, which completely eliminates damage during mooring and battery charging. In the future, marine charging will reduce ships' dependence on diesel engines and reduce emissions #archtown #greenenergy

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝘀 Large cranes, men with climbing harnesses and a day full of work and preparations to inspect a few wind turbines. Sounds like an operation of a huge scale and that also comes with an expensive price tag. Well that was then. Welcome to the world of droone inspections. All those things are not needed anymore. Instead we use our droones to inspect all kinds of wind turbines in all parts of Europe. And we do it precise, quick and in great numbers. With a small team we can inspect up to 20 or more wind turbines a day. Because of our efficient way of working we are able to deliver customization but also value for money. Remote wind farms are also no problem for us. We hop into our cars, drive to the wind farm and let our droones take to the air. With the advantage of being on the ground as a person and letting the machinery do the work we do not risk human life and also save our clients huge amounts of time. Did you already spot some of our droones circling around wind farms? #DAW #droonesarialworks #droneinspections #drone #inspections #safety #windenergy #sustainableenergy #energy #newtechnology

A project to retrofit crew transfer vessels (CTVs) for the offshore wind industry with hydrogen power has been given preliminary classification approval. Led by Orkney-based Green Marine (UK) Ltd, Project Verdant is aiming to decarbonise the CTVs that ferry personnel to and from offshore wind farms. Phase 1 of the project saw the team design a hydrogen-diesel hybrid vessel capable of operating with zero emissions at low speeds, for example when loitering near the base of a turbine. Findings show the hybrid system could reduce the vessel’s CO2 emissions by up to 30 per cent and NOx emissions by up to 40 per cent.

Future-proof. High-quality. Cutting-edge. You hear these adjectives again and again in connection with Norwegian specialised vessels for the offshore wind industry. It's not just empty talk. In Norwegian newbuilds, hybrid propulsion is often standard and always optional, and existing vessels are being retrofitted for greener fuels. “Norway has many pioneering vessels, to be sure,” says Sigurd Urdal, special advisor for offshore wind at Innovation Norway. “But we also try to see how the vessel is connected to the entire system. We ask, ‘How can we utilise the ship in the most efficient way to solve the bigger issues together?’” #offshorewind #greenmaritime #supportvessels #greenhydrogen #retrofits #shipbuilding

WindFloat Atlantic, the semisubmersible #floatingoffshorewind farm offshore Portugal’s west coast, is entering its fourth year of service. OW Ocean Winds, the joint venture between EDP Renewables and ENGIE which developed this pilot project using floaters designed by Principle Power, is now moving ahead with a second floating pre-commercial project in the Mediterranean Sea #offshore southwest France, Eoliennes Flottantes du Golfe du Lion. Fabrication of the three floating structures is underway and installation should follow in 2024/25. Offshore magazine sought the views of Tiago Duarte, Head of Floating Foundations at #OceanWinds, on the innovations behind the two projects, the operating experience at WindFloat Atlantic to date, and the potential lessons for the larger-scale commercial floating offshore wind developments set to go forward later this decade.

Background facts about our new wind turbines 🧐 Work is continuing at full speed on the construction of the two wind turbines at the Wetzlar-Blasbach Wind Farm. These turbines belong to the V150-4.2 MW™ model, expertly manufactured by Vestas. The journey of the turbine components has been truly remarkable. They traveled over 700 kilometers all the way from Esbjerg, Denmark to Blasbach, Germany. Can you imagine the excitement as these massive components made their way through the countryside? And it took a whopping three days to transport each set of three rotor blades, with the total length of the transport vehicles reaching an incredible 85 meters! #energytransition #windpower #renewableenergy #vestas #koehlerrenewableenergy

Have you ever thought about how offshore wind turbines are built? It takes a special kind of vessel to assemble the different parts such a big project at sea. Maersk Supply Service has designed and commissioned a new type of Wind Installation Vessel to make offshore wind farm installations up to 30% faster. As a key component to the new installation process, the Wind Installation Vessel will remain on location to install the wind turbines, while smaller feeder ships transport the components of the wind turbines or the foundations from port to installation site. The Wind Installation Vessel has also been designed with a patented stabilising technology, so it can ‘lock’ with the feeder vessels and safely receive the ferried components in much rougher waves. The vessel is under construction and expected to be completed in the second half of 2025. Watch as it slowly takes shape.

At RJW, "on-site service" doesn't just mean a quick car trip! Remember that wind farm project in the North Sea? While we used our specialised techniques to repair the wind turbines, getting there wasn't as simple as driving a van. We literally took a boat! This commitment to going the extra mile (or kilometre) ensures minimal disruption for our clients. We understand that entire wind farms can't exactly be brought to our workshop! ☑We come to you: No matter the location, we'll be there to assess and repair your equipment. ☑Hands-on expertise: We believe in on-site monitoring and evaluation for the most accurate diagnosis. ☑Adaptable solutions: We find creative ways to overcome logistical challenges. #WindTurbineRepair #OffshoreWind #CommitmenttoClients #RJWEngineering
