Safe and efficient installation in even
the most challenging conditions.
Installation of wind farms at sea is an essential part of powering the future, but If the sea is rough, it can put a stop to installation entirely, or even damage expensive equipment. Van Halteren Technologies, together with Seaway 7, has successfully engineered a motion compensator system which ensures safe and efficient installation in even the most challenging conditions.
Integrating two systems
Usually, vessels built for installing monopiles have two systems to reduce potential movement at sea – a dynamic positioning (DP) system to keep the ship in place, and a motion compensated system to control the movement of the monopile gripper. VHT, together with Seaway 7, effectively integrated these two separate systems, which resulted in a number of significant advantages.
Sustainability
It’s more essential than ever to reduce costs too, as the wind energy industry is no longer subsidized. Through the increased efficiency combined with reliability and uptime, this system makes it less expensive to install wind farms at sea which means in the future it will be possible to build more, which in turn will help us all live in a more sustainable way.
