Offshore Wind Farm

Engineering and installation of a 200MW offshore wind farm. Features innovative foundation design and subsea cable systems for reliable power transmission.

Location

Offshore, 15km from coast

Client

Ocean Energy Partners

Duration

36 months

Project Overview

This ambitious offshore wind farm project harnesses the power of ocean winds to generate 200MW of clean electricity. Located 15 kilometers from the coast, the project required innovative engineering solutions for foundation design that can withstand harsh marine conditions, including strong currents, waves, and corrosive saltwater. Our team designed and installed 40 state-of-the-art wind turbines, each capable of generating 5MW. The project includes a sophisticated subsea cable system that transmits power to an onshore substation, where it's integrated into the national grid. The foundation design uses advanced materials and construction techniques to ensure stability and longevity in the challenging marine environment. This project contributes significantly to regional renewable energy goals and demonstrates the viability of offshore wind as a major energy source.
