Unique Two Bladed Floating Wind Turbines will be Deployed by 2024

 The two firms, Petrofac and Seawind ocean technology, join hands to work together in order to deliver early floating offshore wind plant commitments.

FREMONT CA: Petrofac and Seawind Ocean Technology have begun working together on a new project that will use two-bladed floating wind turbines. Many of Petrofac's projects will feature Seawind Ocean Technology turbines. Seawind is known for its turbines, while the London-based company is noted for its focus on building and operating facilities. Most sea conditions, particularly deepwater and cyclone-prone locations, can benefit from Seawind turbines. The two-bladed floating turbines are equipped with a floating concrete structure that allows them to operate in various sea conditions. Petrofac will assist in the installation, assembly, and maintenance of the turbines as part of a major partnership.

Seawind's twin-blade technology with a 50-year lifespan has the potential to improve rotor stability and increase generation efficiency. This turbine, officially known as the 6-126 turbine, features a wobbling hinge that connects the shaft and rotor. Another benefit of Seawind's technology is that it protects the turbine from dangerous and severe loads. Higher speeds are also feasible with the turbine, thanks to active yaw control. The services that Petrofac will provide will assist Seawind. Design verification, engineering, procurement, and construction will all be provided by Petrofac. This will be the first time Seawind has demonstrated a floating offshore wind turbine in European waters. By the first quarter of 2024, the system should be operational.

Petrofac will continue to provide clients with results enabled by effective technology and innovation. With both Petrofac and Seawind's efforts, an effective offshore application is achievable. The combined technology and services will improve the speed and efficiency of energy harvesting. Another benefit of the system is that it may be built with cranes in a harbor. Installation at sea will not necessitate the use of a vessel. This renewable energy initiative is projected to succeed thanks to the collaboration of the two major corporations. Both have a strong design and implementation track record. Petrofac, in particular, has secured multiple contracts and partnerships with other companies in the UK and around the world to assist various water, hydrogen, carbon capture, and storage projects. On the other hand, Seawind Ocean Technology will continue to provide enhanced execution capability.
