This case study illustrates the importance of proactive #SafetyAssessments in the #RenewableEnergy sector. With dss 's support, the client conducted thorough evaluations of their #OEM supplier's safety practices, leading to the development of a comprehensive improvement roadmap. By prioritizing #SafetyCulture alignment across projects and geographies, the client demonstrates its commitment to fostering a safe #WorkingEnvironment for its personnel.

Did you miss last week's offshore construction market forecast webinar? No worries! It is now available for on-demand viewing. Summary: The offshore construction market is revving up as the demand for energy resources continues to drive demand for new oil and gas supplies. Engineering and construction activities are underway on new floating production platforms, subsea production systems, and renewable energy facilities. Check out the webinar (link below) with speakers David Boggs, managing director of Energy Maritime Associates Pte Ltd, and David Sheret, director with Archer Knight (Holdings) Limited, who review recent industry trends, updates on projects under construction and a forecast for new orders. https://lnkd.in/gtif9j5n #OffshoreMagazine #EndeavorBusinessMedia

Aker Solutions has signed a FEED contract with the METCentre in Norway to pilot new Subsea Power System Technology which has the potential to significantly REDUCE COSTS and COMPLEXITY of offshore wind farms. The project will see Aker Solutions provide new power transmission technology, Subsea Collector, for the METCentre’s offshore wind test area which today consists of two floating offshore wind turbines, located 10km off the southwestern coast of Karmøy, Norway. The test area will expand to seven floating offshore wind turbines from 2026. Subsea Collector provides an alternative solution to connect multiple wind turbines electrically in a star configuration instead of the traditional daisy chain pattern, allowing for more flexibility in offshore wind farm architecture and construction. The design also allows for reduced cable length per turbine and park, as well as less vessel time and installation costs. Initial findings support total cost savings on a 1GW floating wind farm of up to 10 per cent. The pioneering project will contribute to shaping the infrastructure in future large scale floating wind parks. The technology is under development, and the project demonstrates how Norwegian subsea expertise from the oil and gas industry drives innovation forward within floating offshore wind on a global scale. https://lnkd.in/dPsCesf7

This case study highlights the critical role of #SafetyCulture in the #RenewableEnergy sector. By partnering with dss , the client not only assessed their #OEM supplier's #SafetyPractices but also developed a roadmap for improvement. This proactive approach ensures alignment across business and geographies, ultimately fostering a safer #WorkingEnvironment for all involved.

According to Aker Solutions, the new power system technology, called the Subsea Collector, #connects multiple #wind #turbines in a star configuration instead of the traditional daisy chain pattern and has the #potential to #reduce the #costs of offshore #transmission #infrastructure by up to 10%. The main components of the Subsea Collector are a 66kV wet mate connection system, subsea switchgear with supervisory control and data acquisition, and a static export cable. Aker Solutions says that the system’s design allows for more #flexibility in #offshore #wind farm #architecture and construction, as well as for #reduced #cable #length per #turbine and wind farm, and less vessel time and #installation #costs. Initial #findings support total #cost #savings on a 1 GW floating #wind #farm of up to 10%, according to the company.

‘World’s First’ Subsea Power Hub for Floating Wind to Be Tested in Norway. Aker Solutions and the Marine Energy Test Centre (METCentre) in Norway have signed a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for a pilot project which will see Aker Solutions testing its new power transmission technology at the METCentre’s offshore test area that houses demonstration floating wind turbines. According to Aker Solutions, the new power system technology, called the Subsea Collector, connects multiple wind turbines in a star configuration instead of the traditional daisy chain pattern and has the potential to reduce the costs of offshore transmission infrastructure by up to 10%. The main components of the Subsea Collector are a 66kV wet mate connection system, subsea switchgear with supervisory control and data acquisition, and a static export cable. Aker Solutions says that the system’s design allows for more flexibility in offshore wind farm architecture and construction, as well as for reduced cable length per turbine and wind farm, and less vessel time and installation costs. Initial findings support total cost savings on a 1 GW floating wind farm of up to 10%, according to the company. For the pilot project in Norway, Benestad Solutions AS will supply the wet mate connection system and ABB will deliver subsea switchgear. The Subsea Collector at the METCentre will be installed by Windstaller Alliance AS, an alliance between Aker Solutions, DeepOcean and Solstad Offshore ASA, with Aker Solutions also providing the static export cable to shore. For its new cable infrastructure, the METCentre evaluated several configurations and decided to move forward with a pilot installation of Aker Solutions’ Subsea Collector to enable the expansion of the test site, according to the press release from Aker Solutions. My View - The first-of-its-kind system is being developed by Aker Solutions following the success of similar technologies in large installation projects such as Equinor’s Hywind Tampen floating offshore wind project.
