Heerema Marine Contractors has actually finished the setup of 24 wind turbines for Parkwind’s Arcadis Ost 1 overseas wind ranch and also most wind turbines are currently generating electrical energy. Three staying wind turbines will certainly be mounted later on this year.
The 257 MW overseas wind ranch lies in the German area of the Baltic Sea, northeast of the island of Rügen. It is anticipated to produce adequate electrical energy to power the matching of as much as 290,000 homes.
“This marks the end of the first installation campaign of the wind farm using the revolutionary floating installation method developed together with Heerema Marine Contractors and Vestas. Unfortunately, Vestas incurred delays on the deliveries of some rotor blades. The remaining three turbines will be installed upcoming Autumn, completing the 257 MW wind farm,” Heerema Marine Contractors claimed Monday.
Heerema Marine Contractors in November 2022, mounted the very first of 27 wind turbines at the Arcadis Ost 1, utilizing a drifting setup approach, for which the events included state is distinct.
Namely, the generator was mounted utilizing Heerema’s Thialf semi-submersible crane vessel as opposed to the common approach utilizing a jack-up vessel.
“The Rotor Nacelle Assembly (RNA) method has proven to be a successful and reliable method for installing wind turbine generators with floating installation vessels. Installation cycle times were consistent and competitive with traditional methods while the floating installation introduces various specific benefits, such as zero seabed interaction which is especially important in areas of significant water depth or challenging soil conditions,” Heerema claimed Monday.
“The floating installation of Arcadis Ost 1 has demonstrated Heerema’s ability to make a real change in the offshore wind market. We continue to be committed to introducing new methodologies that can solve industry challenges,” claimed Ramon de Haas, CTO of Heerema.
“The success of the RNA setup approach notes a substantial accomplishment for the overseas wind sector.Parkwind has actually gone to the leading edge of development in overseas wind for the last years, and also with Arcadis Ost 1 we remain to do so. As overseas wind power targets expand, this type of development is vital if we wish to relocate in the direction of a lasting future as quick as feasible.As areas go even more overseas and also wind turbines enhance in dimension, we are specific to see an ongoing need for considerable development in our sector. We are thrilled to be a component of this trip,” commented Eric Antoons, co-CEO of Parkwind.
Heerema’s Project Manager, Thijs Postma, included: “Knowing that the entire market was watching the first commercial floating installation of wind turbine generators was a unique and special experience and I’m especially proud of the huge team effort that made this project possible. We thank all of our partners and subcontractors and look forward to the second campaign for the remaining turbines later this year.”
