First OSS for 2.6GW US Offshore Wind Project Arrives to Denmark
for CVOW ProjectThe scope of work on the project includes design, engineering, procurement, manufacturing and installation. Bladt Industries is responsible for design, procurement and manufacturing of steel structures and jacket foundations, while design, procurement and installation of electrical equipment, emergency systems and inter-array cables will be managed by Semco Maritime.The project, located approximately 23.5 nautical miles off Virginia Beach, has been approved for construction and operation by the U.S. government in November 2023.U.S. Approves Construction of 2.6 GW Offshore Wind

platform that has been in operation for over a decade (in the US Gulf of Mexico), and the Njord platform (semisubmersible, built at Kværner Stord and installed in 1997), which we’ve used as a reference for the flat top deck, has been operating for 20 years,” he says, with HV electrical equipment from an original equipment manufacturer whose systems have been proven in an operating environment. The design will likely be fairly similar, but may, for example, require more enclosures in the North Sea, compared to more temperate locations like the Mediterranean or western US.In 2018, power

to improve effectiveness of deployment and maintenance.Continuing technological developments to improve system reliability: Whether it’s the increased reliance on survey and lay software aboard vessels, faster signal processing, broadband access while at sea, or improved mechanical and electrical equipment, increasingly sophisticated solutions are needed to meet the exacting requirements of the end client.Stress in the marine maintenance marketplace: We see the possibility of changes to marine maintenance services causing potential problems, not least to small carriers and owners of capacity

future energy needs. We are pleased to once again be joining forces with ABB to take subsea solutions to the next level and accelerate the transition to sustainable energy production,” added Maria Peralta, Subsea Executive Vice-President at Aker Solutions.ABB will provide the majority of the electrical equipment, both topside and subsea, for J-IC. The project will combine two core ABB technologies - power from shore and Variable Speed Drive (VSD) long step-out subsea power - for the first time. The electrical system will be able to transmit 100 megavolt-amperes over a distance of approximately 140
Proserv Acquires Dron & Dickson's Abu Dhabi Business
Oil and gas services company Proserv Controls, has acquired the Middle Eastern operations of Dron & Dickson Electromechanical Contracting (DDEC) LLC, for an undisclosed fee. DDEC is a UK-based specialist in the supply, assembly, and maintenance of hazardous areas and industrial electrical equipment."The deal reinforces and expands the breadth of offering and capability that Proserv delivers in the Middle East and North Africa, where it has multiple sites including in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha and Dammam," Proserv said.DDEC provides electrical engineering services and Ex certified

phase systems. Cranes are often one of the most common causes of spikes and drops in the power supply. A crane pulls a lot of current when it starts up, and that can cause a fluctuation in the power supply. When the crane stops, the power can sometimes spike and potentially cause damage to other electrical equipment, but Bender’s PQM technology records the changes in the power supply and alerts the Film-Ocean team.If there is a problem, then Film-Ocean can look at ways to make the power supply more stable, either by bringing in a separate dedicated generator or installing voltage conditioning equipment

lease structure for 12 years since January 2016. The lease provides for annual rental escalations and an option to renew for another six years. The client will continue to manage the facility, own the fit-out, as well as bear operating expenses and capital expenditure of the mechanical and electrical equipment. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to Keppel DC REIT's Distribution Per Unit and will enhance its income stream stability through geographical diversification. The portfolio's Weighted Average Lease Expiry (WALE) will be lengthened from 8.7 years to 9.3 years, while the REIT's
Tidal Energy Fence for UK’s Bristol Channel
, enabling it to generate predictable, renewable electricity at very competitive costs in lower velocity and shallower waters, which axial flow turbines cannot replicate. The simplicity of the patented truss design ensures the minimum of moving parts exposed to the tidal flow, whilst electrical equipment and controls are housed in dry columns. The rotor installation methodology requires no high cost specialist vessels, and can use much longer ‘weather widows’ than axial turbines operating in harsh weather and wave locations. Peter Dixon, Chairman of Kepler Energy said

and quality standards. The layout of the new facility allows various manufacturing processes such as Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) handling, metal work, carpentry, hydraulics and electrical work to take place in isolation. An overpressure room allows safe handling of sensitive electrical equipment in a contamination free environment. On-site training facilities and ready access to the water front provides JFD’s customers with training, trials and demonstration opportunities. “The new facility allows us to increase our manufacturing capacity and broaden the
