Converter valves are the core equipment of offshore wind power structures. However, they are highly vulnerable to vibration under strong earthquakes, which will affect normal operation of the offshore wind farm. Converter station is an axisymmetric structure with obvious asymmetry in its internal configuration of the superstructure. This
The DolWin epsilon HVDC offshore wind converter platform has arrived to Aibel''s yard in Norway for final electrical outfitting and commissioning. After more than two months on a journey from Seatrium''s shipyard in Singapore, the DolWin epsilon offshore wind converter platform has entered the strait outside Aibel''s yard in Haugesund. In
Located approximately 80 kilometers from land, DolWin3 with the offshore converter platform DolWin gamma connects the wind farms Merkur Offshore, containing 66 Haliade 150-6MW GE Renewable Energy wind turbines, and Borkum Riffgrund 2 in the south-western part of the German North Sea with the onshore transmission grid.
German cruise ship-builder MEYER WERFT has announced it entry into the offshore converter platform market with a collaboration with Dragados Offshore. The Papenburg shipyard has been tasked with
The history of the technology goes back to 1998, when it started as a floating wave energy converter idea. It continued as a wave energy converter until 2010, by which time the wave energy converter platform had been tested offshore from 2008–2009 [104]. In 2010, wind turbines were added to the floating structure and connected to the grid.
Two of the converter stations will be installed on offshore platforms and two at mainland grid connections. "Offshore wind is a critical part of the clean energy transition and our HVDC technology is vital for effective transmission to the mainland power grid," said Niklas Persson, Managing Director of Hitachi Energy''s Grid Integration
