Floating LIDAR Facilitates KREDO Offshore Wind Farm
paves the way for the next step in planning the development of a portfolio of offshore wind farms in South Korea.DNV is providing technical advisory and project management support for the deployment and monitoring of seven Floating Lidar System (FLS) devices for KREDO Offshore, a Korean renewable energy developer. The FLS takes wind measurements from a vertical light detection and ranging device and also collects a range of measurements including met ocean parameters. It has become one of the most common measurement technologies of choice for offshore wind projects due to its cost effective and time-saving
Tidal Energy Firm Orbital Wins Two CfDs in UK Renewables Auction
Tidal energy developer Orbital Marine Power Ltd has been awarded two Contracts for Difference (CfDs) for 7.2MW in the UK Allocation Round 5 (AR5) process. "This builds on Orbital’s success in the previous year’s Allocation Round 4, where it secured contracts for 7.2MW of capacity. Orbital Marine Power said. The CfDs will allow Orbital to expand its development of projects in Orkney with the construction of 6 turbines now covered by the Contracts for Difference scheme," Orbital Marine Power said."Capable of delivering a total of 7.2MW of predictable clean energy to the
Eco Wave Power's Wave Energy Project Connects to Israel's Power Grid
Eco Wave Power Global, a wave energy developer, said Tuesday that its station at the Port of Jaffa in Tel Aviv, EWP-EDF One, had officially connected to Israel’s national electrical grid – making it the first wave energy project to deliver electricity to the country’s power supply.The wave energy system installed at the Port of Jaffa comprises ten floaters along the Port of Jaffa’s pre-existing breakwater. Each floater connects directly to Eco Wave Power’s land-based energy conversion unit, which enables easy access for operational maintenance and upgrades.Now, the
SAE Deploys Upgraded Turbine at MeyGen Tidal Power Site
Tidal Energy Developer SAE said Wednesday it had deployed the upgraded 'Turbine 2' at the MeyGen tidal energy project site, located off the northern tip of Scotland.SAE said that the turbine had undergone significant upgrades to improve performance and reliability."One of the major steps was to convert the turbine to use a wet-mate connection system. This dramatically reduces costs and time for future maintenance work. This innovation has been a key development in ensuring the next phase of turbines deployed at the MeyGen site are the most advanced and deliver the best performance in the
Windstaller Alliance to Deliver FEED for World's Most Powerful Tidal Power Farm
Solutions, which has been appointed by HydroQuest to deliver the complete FEED study for Subsea Interconnection System of the FloWatt project. The FEED will be completed in the summer of 2023. The FloWatt project is developed by tidal power turbine technology developer and renewable energy developer HydroQuest and independent renewable energy producer Qair. The final investment decision for the FloWatt project is expected in 2024, with potential EPCI contract award the same year. The FloWatt project is already approved by French authorities, and in fact moving faster than the prospects
Minesto's Dragon 12 Project Powers Forward with Cable Installation Completion
Tidal energy developer Minesto said Wednesday it had successfully completed the first phase of Dragon 12 (1.2 MW) offshore installation in Vestmanna, Faroe Islands. The 3.4 km main subsea cable was laid on the seabed, from the onshore grid connection point to the offshore installation node. After transit across the North Atlantic Ocean to Vestmanna, the cable installation work kicked off and was completed Wednesday. The cable installation was completed in a 22-hour operation. “This cable is the highest valuable component of the infrastructure, and it’s a major milestone to have
Shell Aims to Harness the Power of the Lower Mississippi
ORPC, an marine renewable energy developer whose power systems harness the energy of free-flowing rivers and tides, has signed a contract with Shell Technology – Marine Renewable Program to initiate a Modular RivGen Power System demonstration project in the Lower Mississippi River.The collaborative project represents an opportunity to showcase how the next generation of ORPC’s hydrokinetic technology can provide predictable baseload electricity to help decarbonize onshore assets. Once deployed, the system can potentially support the electrification of Shell facilities, including providing
Tidal Energy: Minesto Doubling Electricity Production Capacity of its Faroe Islands Site
Tidal energy developer Minesto said Thursday it had installed additional offshore infrastructure in Vestmannasund, Faroe Islands, to double electricity production from two Dragon 4 (100kW) tidal energy power plants in an array set-up.The company, which harnesses tidal energy using its tidal kites, said that a second foundation, subsea cable, and onshore interface have been successfully installed, and the subsea infrastructure is ready for a second kite installation and electricity production, Minesto said.Foundation loadout, Holyhead, Wales ©Minesto"The installations have been
