Offshore Windenergy
Offshore wind energy contributes significantly to Germany’s energy transition from traditional to renewable energies. Higher and more consistent offshore wind speeds make offshore energy production more efficient than its‘ onshore counterpart. However, the harsh environment and conditions present a variety of challenges and require particularly high standards in materials and production quality.
Offshore Substation Platform - Offshore Wind Farm "Nordergründe" - 2017
In 2017, we built the steel construction for the substation platform of the Offshore wind farm „Nordergründe“, located at the estuary of Weser river, 15 kilometers east from of Wangerooge island.
Due to the shallow depth of merely 10 meters at wind farm „Nordergründe“, the depicted platform was constructed on a monopile foundation.
The wind farm consists of 18 wind turbines, each with an output of energy of 1,8 MW.
Offshore Substation Platform - Offshore Wind Farm "Meerwind" - 2013
Every offshore wind farm has its‘ own offshore substation to collect, concentrate and transmit turbine-produced electricity. Its’ transformation of energy results in higher voltage outputs required for onward submission to shore.
The steel construction of pictured substation platform for offshore wind farm “Meerwind” was built by us in 2013.
The substation combines the energy produced by 80 wind turbines (each with an energy output of 3.6 MW) and subsequently supplies the power grid.
The wind farm “Meerwind” is located in the North Sea, north of the island Helgoland.
