The first Siemens Gamesa wind turbine for the 25 MW Provence Grand Large floating offshore wind farm has been assembled in France. The floating wind farm will comprise three Siemens Gamesa 8 MW wind turbines installed on tensioned line floats and designed by SBM Offshore and IFP Energies nouvelles. The turbine components, manufactured at Siemens Gamesa's factory in Le Havre, arrived in Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône in April this year. The floating foundations that will house the wind turbines are being assembled at Eiffage Métal's site in Fos-sur-Mer by the French company and Smulders, its Belgian subsidiary. The Provence Grand Large is located 40 kilometres west of Marseille and 17 kilometres off the coast of Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône, in water depths of around 100 metres. The project is scheduled to be completed this year when it will produce the equivalent of the annual electricity consumption of 45,000 inhabitants. The Provence Grand Large floating offshore wind farm is owned PARC EOLIEN OFFSHORE DE PROVENCE GRAND LARGE - a subsidiary of EDF Renouvelables, and Enbridge Eolien France 2 S.à.r.l (@EEF2), a subsidiary of Enbridge Inc. and CPP Investments | Investissements RPC. #renewableenergy #offshorewind #engineering #wind #carbon60 #energy #france

As more and more offshore wind farm projects come online, the integration of long-duration energy storage (LDES) is now becoming critical for avoiding renewable power curtailment. LDES will also offer operators the necessary flexibility to optimise the dispatch of electricity to the grid and maximise their profits. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is expected to make a significant contribution in managing the intermittent power from offshore wind in the decades to come. Integrating CAES offshore not only reduces land requirements for storage assets, but it will also allow more efficient isothermal CAES processes by exploiting the excellent heat sink/source characteristics of sea water. The University of Malta has recently started working on a new research project SAICOPES being funded through the Research Excellence programme of the Malta Council For Science & Technology. The project will investigate how the established pipeline technology can be exploited to boost the round-trip efficiency and storage density for isothermal CAES deployed subsea.  We will be studying in depth the thermofluid phenomena associated with CAES processes in the subsea environment driven by intermittent wind power. We will also be collaborating with offshore energy storage startup FLASC B.V. to assess industrialized pipeline solutions leading to more cost-effective solutions for offshore-based LDES. #offshorewind #offshorewindenergy #offshore #subsea #subseaengineering #greenenergy #greentransition #energy #energystorage #compressedair #greendeal #windenergy #windeurope

A new study has outlined the "monumental" challenges of scaling up floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) to a gigawatt-scale wind farm. So far, no wind developer has attempted to deploy FOWTs at the gigawatt-scale. The world's largest floating wind farm is currently Equinor's 88MW Hywind Tampen project in Norway, while the largest in the UK is the 50MW Kincardine wind farm. However, there are 12 gigawatt and multi-gigawatt scale floating wind in the pipeline in Scotland across the ScotWind and INTOG leasing rounds.

While the #windturbines now spinning near the Port of Taranto stand on fixed-bottom foundations, the new application is for a project that would be built farther offshore and would use #floatingwind technology. The project is being proposed by a company called Ionio Prime at a site in the Ionian Sea, in the Gulf of Taranto, between the regions of Basilicata and Puglia, in the waters under the jurisdiction of the Port Authorities of Taranto and Gallipoli. 28 #floatingwindturbines, each with a nominal output of 15 MW, are proposed to be installed. According to the documentation now published for public consultation, one of the wind turbine generator technologies being considered is Vestas’s V236-15.0 MW model.

How much offshore wind is Ørsted currently building? This year, we reached 7.6GW under construction at the same time, across 7 projects. However, since inaugurating Greater Changhua 1&2a last month, we've 'only' had 6.7GW #offshorewind under construction. Quite a long way since the 5MW Vindeby in 1991:-) #ChartOfTheDay

📢Energy International News 🗺 Equinor Partners with Polenergia and Ramboll for Baltic II and III Offshore Wind Farms! The development of design documentation, including detailed foundation designs, will be handled by Ramboll, an international consulting, engineering, and design group with extensive experience in offshore wind farms. These agreements mark another milestone in the implementation of investments crucial for Poland's energy security. With plans to supply green energy to the Polish power grid as early as 2027, Equinor and its partners are inching closer to making the final investment decision and realizing the ambitious Baltic II and Baltic III projects. The Baltic II and Baltic III projects, boasting a combined capacity of 1440 MW, are expected to provide clean energy to over 2 million households. Ramboll's expertise and engineering services will be instrumental throughout the construction period of both wind farms, consisting of 100 monopiles. The commercial operation of these wind farms is slated to commence from 2028, marking a crucial step towards Poland's renewable energy goals.

BOEM is taking steps towards offshore wind development in the Gulf of Maine. Today, BOEM released for public review and comment a draft environmental assessment analyzing the State of Maine's requested 9,700-acre research lease on the OCS, which is roughly 20 nautical miles off the coast of Maine. If developed as initially proposed, the project would consist of 12 floating offshore wind turbines and generate up to 144 MW. #offshorewindenergy #offshorewind #offshore #gulfofmaine #maine #BOEM #climatepolicy #climateaction #renewables #renewableenergy Andrew Compton, Marius G., Lauri Kai, April Kent, Will Kim, Candis L.
