🚨 Major Advancements in Offshore Wind Operations 🔊 The Offshore O&M teams of EDF Renouvelables entrusted our support to transport lightweight equipment between the offshore substation (OSS) and wind turbines of the Saint-Nazaire Offshore Wind Farm. MaDfly's expertise tailored a drone solution to meet these specific needs. During these flights significant milestones have been achieved: ✅ 66% time savings: 1 hour with a drone vs. 3 hours with a crew transfer vessel (CTV).   ✅ Reduced fuel costs: Less CTV usage for a smaller carbon footprint.   ✅ Enhanced safety: Lower risks in material transfers. We focused on risk analysis and coordination to ackling challenges like 🌐 Signal loss risks or 🛬 Blind landings on limited spaces. Under EDF Renouvelables' Offshore O&M teams guidance, we explored options and then successfully operated the chosen solution. #RenewableEnergy #Innovation #Sustainability #MaDfly #EDFRenewables #Drone #offshorewindfarm #offshorewindturbine #eolienenmer #AO5 #innovation #EDF #transitionenergetique

“If you look at the traditional way subsea geophysical data is collected, it hasn’t pivoted very much in the last 50 years. Sailing a ship out into the ocean and towing a sensor. It is a very expensive approach, it is not very nimble. On top of that, there is also the matter of safety, the impact on marine mammals and other environmental factors,” Kris Rydberg, Chief Operating Officer at Terradepth said in an interview with offshoreWIND.biz.

Uncertainty in wind resource assessments can significantly impact the feasibility and financing of offshore wind projects. To address this challenge, Dual Scanning Lidar (DSL) technology offered by Vaisala, a global leader in weather and environmental measurements, provides a reliable solution. By providing highly accurate wind data, DSL minimizes Risk and improves project bankability. Additionally, it measures Turbulence Intensity (TI), a critical factor in selecting the optimal wind turbine for a project. Watch the introductory video to learn more about the benefits of DSL in offshore wind project development. Many commercial projects have successfully utilized DSL to ensure accurate wind resource assessments and informed decision-making. #windenergy #windturbine #offshorewind #windfarms #renewables #solar #lidar #windresourceassesment #remotesensing #renewableenergy #Vaisala

In Europe, there are between 350 to 400 crew transfer vessels (CTVs) catering to the fast-growing offshore wind sector. These vessels operate for approximately 250 days a year, consuming 1,500 litres of fuel daily. The retrofitting of diesel-powered CTVs with electric systems comes with a hefty price tag of £8 million per vessel, posing a significant challenge. Transitioning the entire fleet is not only costly but also technically challenging, with certain vessel types being more suitable for conversion than others. Adaptation to electric systems is considered on a case-by-case basis, with a focus on larger hulls for potential conversion. Some innovative hull designs are making the CTV's more efficient such as AIRCAT VESSELS surface effect ships #SES and Artemis Technologies’ #eFoiler solution. #Europe #OffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #CTVs #ElectricVessels #Sustainability

🌊 This week has seen two key events in the offshore wind industry, Scottish Renewables' Offshore Wind Conference and WORLD FORUM OFFSHORE WIND (WFO)'s Global Summit, so it’s a good time to summarise how ZX Lidars offers value 𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺: ➡️ Our ZX 300M wind #Lidar is fully integrated into all commercial Floating Lidar Devices to carry out Wind Resource Assessments, providing measurements up to 300m. ➡️ We measure the wind from the deck of the wind turbine installation vessel, leading to safer and more efficient lifting during construction. ➡️ The ZX TM Nacelle-Mounted Lidar accurately carries out Power Curve Tests for offshore wind turbines. ➡️ It can be permanently installed on offshore substations, where as well as providing an accurate wind measurement reference, it supports operational safety including helicopter take-offs and landings. ➡️ More widely we offer measurements for Helideck Monitoring Systems on all vessels and platforms.
