The 57 meter lengthy hybrid diesel-electric WindKeeper SOV will likely be constructed to DNV class with Walk to Work and DPS(2) notations
Turkey’s Cemre Shipyard has awarded Norwegian Electric Systems AS (NES) a contract to ship power design, and good management techniques for the 2 progressive WindKeeper Service Operation Vessels (SOVs) ordered on the yard by Norwegian operator GC Rieber.
Based on Small Water Area Twin Hull (SWATH) methodology and design, the WindKeeper is designed to ship improved operability, ultra-low gasoline consumption and the choice of absolutely electrical operations in area.
NES’ scope of labor is to handle the entire power design and to behave because the system integrator for the vessels’ energy system and good management set-up. NES will provide frequency converters and electrical motors for the propulsion system, battery system, transformers, predominant DC and AC switchboards, built-in automation system, built-in navigation system and dynamic positioning system.
“The primary purpose of tailoring the vessels’ energy design and smart control system is to meet the vessels’ strict requirements for redundancy and, in an extension of this, optimized energy efficiency,” says Egil Bremnes, gross sales supervisor at NES. “In turn this translates directly to lower operating costs and emissions to air.”
The distinctive vessel design requires an influence system structure that has a excessive variety of redundancy zones. NES, along with the GC Rieber staff, has developed what it calls a “game changing” power design that may be operated with a minimal of engines operating. The diploma of security together with minimal gasoline consumption is achieved through the use of an NES portfolio of merchandise, resembling ESS, Quadro Master, Odin’s Eye and good management.
NES will design, assemble, and check the techniques at its headquarters at Godvik outdoors Bergen. The firm’s amenities in Egersund and Ålesund may even help the WindKeeper venture. Delivery of the tools is deliberate for starting of 2024.
The not too long ago established NES workplace in Istanbul, Turkey, will contribute with native shipyard help and commissioning.
NES is a subsidiary of HAV Group ASA, which is listed on Euronext Growth Oslo.
