Floating Wind innovating concept…. An innovative turbine design that could significantly reduce the cost of offshore wind is set to move toward the testing phase in Norway.  The 19-m (62-ft), 30-kW, contra-rotating vertical-axis turbine is a prototype of a design that could have potential to scale to unprecedented size and power. Most wind turbines look like a propeller on a stick – once you take the concept out into the deep ocean, where the vast majority of the world's best wind power resources are, and scale it up, it's a design that becomes more and more challenging. All the heavy components are at the top, so it's difficult and expensive to build and maintain a floating version that doesn't want to tip over in the wind. Developers such as Hexicon have designs that help to combat over balance, but this concept is new in the field. Bamla consultants have good experience in floating wind developments. If you are interested in learning more, please get in touch via linkedin or info@bamlaconsultants.com and we will can discuss with your team. #floatingwind #Hydrogen #Mechanical #rcm #reliabillty #maintenance #reliabilitycenteredmaintenance #Mechanicalengineering #Projects #Projectdelivery #Bamla #Bamlaconsultants #Bamlamecheng #imeche

Future offshore wind projects in the Gulf of Maine, are likely to use floating turbines anchored to the seafloor. That’s different from turbines currently being installed south of Martha’s Vineyard, which are atop foundations driven into the seabed. To learn more, CAI’s Jennette Barnes interviewed Javier Molinero, a civil engineer who specializes in floating wind technology at consulting company DNV, which has done work for the states of Massachusetts and Maine.

🌊 Developers want to harness the potential of floating offshore wind in many markets, placing significant demands on the supply chain. Commercial-scale floating wind projects are complex, and scaling up implies greater risk. Advocating for an “industry first” while being successful depends on how developers navigate various challenges: new market conditions, project size, new port infrastructure, fabricators and supply chains often with no floating wind experience, new turbines over 15 MW, and choosing the right floating platform technologies for their projects. A blank canvas may impact a project’s viability and the entire industry’s LCoE curve. Principle Power is a global leader in floating wind solutions and holds many “technology firsts.” More importantly, we have the capacity to deliver low-risk technical solutions that ensure the success of floating wind projects, with proven track-record and expertise: 🌐 15-year track record, including 13 years of operational experience with WindFloat® projects withstanding severe weather conditions while achieving excellence power output 📊 Extensive portfolio of successful projects, proving the reliability of Principle Power design tools and state-of-the-art validated tools 👷 Strong capabilities of our engineering team and their experience interfacing with various stakeholders, including Wind Turbine Manufacturers Catch up with Thomas Marty at SEANERGY BY BLUESIGN to discuss how Floating Offshore Wind can “take the Financial Wave” and deliver bankable and insurable projects: 📅 Save the date: June 26, 10:40 AM (CET) 📍 SEANERGY BY BLUESIGN, Exponantes Hall XXL, Nantes, France Speakers on the panel: Christine de Jouëtte (EDF) David Carrascosa (Saitec Offshore Technologies) Felipe Cornago Diufaín (BayWa r.e.

🇫🇷 Assembly of the Principle Power designed WindFloat® foundations is currently underway at Eiffage Metal’s Fos-sur-Mer yard, working to connect the upper and lower main beams  to the three column modules. Once the main structural connections are complete, the platforms will then be outfitted before the pre-commissioning and loadout phase.   The lessons learned through the design and construction of LES EOLIENNES FLOTTANTES DU GOLFE DU LION (EFGL), along with our operational projects, WindFloat Atlantic and Kincardine, directly inform the features of our 4th Generation WindFloat® product portfolio.      These precommercial projects are stepping stones that enable us to move confidently to design commercial scale projects by allow us to test our products with different wind turbines, site conditions, supply chains, fabrications methods, contracting strategies, among others.      The project, owned by OW Ocean Winds and Banque des Territoires, will host three Vestas V164-10.0 MW wind turbines, and deliver a total capacity of 30 MW.   Once operational, the floating wind farm will provide clean energy to 50,000 homes, supporting France's goal of achieving 40 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2050.   Stay tuned for more updates!   Learn more on the project at https://lnkd.in/d3v7FHHX   #EFGL #300X30 #PrinciplePower #windfloat #renewableenergy #offshorewind #floatingwind #netzero

Flavio Corbo, Head of Feasibility Engineering at ERG, attended EOLIS 2024 – WindEurope’s End-of-Life Issues & Strategies Seminar, the annual event dedicated to managing wind turbines at the end of their lifecycle and strategies to maximize sector efficiency.   During the presentation, Flavio Corbo showcased ERG’s approach to repowering wind farms in Italy, a process that has enabled the replacement of over 30% of installed wind turbines. This initiative has significantly increased the average production capacity per turbine while reducing land usage by 70% compared to the original installations. These efforts not only enhance performance but also optimize operational costs and integrate cutting-edge digital technologies.   The presentation also addressed the multifaceted challenges faced by the wind energy sector, with a particular focus on the critical bottlenecks impacting repowering projects. Among these, the complexities of regulatory permitting emerged as a significant hurdle, as lengthy and fragmented authorization processes often delay the implementation of vital upgrades. These delays are compounded by uncertainties surrounding incentive mechanisms and tariff structures, which can undermine the financial feasibility of projects. The issue of grid saturation also poses a substantial obstacle, with limited connection capacity restricting the integration of new, more efficient technologies into the energy network.   Further complicating matters are logistical challenges tied to transportation and construction management. The need to dismantle older turbines and transport larger, more advanced components to remote sites requires meticulous planning and coordination. These operational difficulties underscore the need for systemic improvements and collaboration across stakeholders to streamline processes, reduce delays, and unlock the full potential of repowering initiatives.   #InspiringChangeToPowerTheFuture #SDGsContributors #greenenERGymakers

Why I feel so good about supporting floating wind farms Floating wind farms are very interesting for the transition to renewable energy sources. They can operate far from the coastline and have a small footprint, mitigating concerns related to coastal aesthetics, marine ecosystems, and other marine activities. The capacity of floating wind is expected to increase significantly through technological advancements, cost reductions, and policies for decarbonization. It is crucial to ensure operational reliability in the harsh offshore environment. I am proud to say that Roxtec cable and pipe transits play a critical role in securing wind farms worldwide against multiple hazards. Whether it is for inter-array cables, export cables, or substation penetrations, our solutions minimize the risk of electrical faults and downtime. Our seals withstand the movements of floating structures, ensure long-term performance, and reduce the need for costly maintenance over the project lifecycle. With a proven track record of successful installations, we have earned the trust of developers, operators, and contractors seeking robust solutions for their projects. Floating wind requires innovation and collaboration. We continue to contribute with our sealing expertise as the industry scales up and optimizes design, materials, and installation techniques to drive down costs and enhance performance.

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.
