#Scottish Ministers have approved a variation application to refine the Pentland Floating Offshore Wind Farm's offshore consents. The variation includes a reduction in the number of turbines, which will be deployed within a smaller area while maintaining 100 MW capacity. Pentland Floating Offshore Wind Farm is being developed by HIGHLAND WIND LIMITED which is majority-owned by a fund managed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) with Hexicon AB as a minority shareholder. Project development activities are being led by CIP's development partner, Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP). The variation application was submitted after further survey work and advancements in project design allowed the proposals to be refined. This is not the first time that the number of turbines has been reduced for the floating offshore wind project. In July 2022, the Pentland Floating Offshore Wind consortium decided to reduce the area of the floating wind farm site by half and the number of turbines being installed from ten to seven. Located 7.5 kilometres off the coast of Dounreay in Caithness, the wind farm will feature Stiesdal Offshore's TetraSub floating foundation technology. Once completed, the project will be capable of providing renewable energy to approximately 70,000 homes, equivalent to around 65 per cent of homes in the Highland Local Council Area (based on 2020 figures). #wind #engineering #renewableenergy #carbon60 #offshorewind #energy

Wind Catching Systems have reimagined the modern wind turbine! The 'Wall of Wind' is a structure consisting of several rotors to generate power. The system may provide answers to many issues the offshore wind industry currently faces, such as acreage, accessibility & efficiency. The below render shows the largest Wind Catching Systems unit and the largest commercially available offshore wind turbine. Though still in development, Wind Catching have found strong traction within the media & investment! Their developments come at a very exciting time as offshore wind looks for answers to their issues. Could this be the future of the industry? #OffshoreWind #WindFarm #NetZero

Wind farms are the new way forward

Commercial scale #offshore wind farms pose many challenges for the industry 🤔 One is the ability to promptly produce and deliver monopiles to the field to meet offshore installation schedules. The same weather conditions that define an ideal wind farm also drive the installation schedule offshore. Rapid deployment is important to achieve a maximal number of installations in a working season ⛈ For a project to be financially successful, it must be installed and commissioned as quickly as possible, simultaneously, with as little operational and safety risk as possible. 💰 Here's how ⬇ Catch Stefann Perrigot at WindEnergy Hamburg for the latest issue of PES Wind! #OmniLiftTM #OmniCraneTM #RaisingTheBarTogether

Principle Power’s WindFloat, Glosten's PelaStar, Technip Energies’ INO15, Stiesdal’s Tetra Triple-One, and ESTEYCO’s WHEEL floating wind platforms are the winners of the second phase of the FLoating Offshore Wind ReadINess (FLOWIN) Prize in the United States, set up to support technologies that can facilitate mass production and deployment of #floatingwind turbines.
