'Vangrail op zee' moet aanvaringen met windmolens voorkomen
ANP Producties 19 uur geleden

WAGENINGEN (ANP) - Een soort vangrail op zee moet voorkomen dat schepen in aanvaring komen met windmolens. In Wageningen wordt door onderzoekers van het Maritiem Research Instituut Nederland (MARIN) deze week een drietal veiligheidsconcepten getest.

Directe aanleiding voor de proef was het incident met het vrachtschip Julietta D. Dat schip raakte in januari op de Noordzee op drift, precies in het gebied ook waar een windpark wordt gebouwd voor de kust van Noordwijk. Daarbij voer het schip eerst tegen een tanker aan en daarna tegen een transformatieplatform in aanbouw en ook tegen de fundering van een windturbine.

Twintig experts bedachten in februari drie veiligheidsconcepten die nu op schaal in Wageningen worden getest. Als eerste wordt een opstelling getest waarbij een verankerde lijn met boeien als een soort vangrail moet voorkomen dat een schip richting de windmolens zou kunnen afdrijven. Als tweede gaat het om een net dat tussen palen wordt gespannen en op drift geslagen schepen moet tegenhouden. De derde en laatste methode die wordt onderzocht is een verankerde haaklijn onder water, waar als het goed is het anker van het op drift geslagen schip in vast komt te zitten.

Ongelukken

MARIN legt uit dat een aanvaring met een windturbine op zee groot gevaar kan betekenen voor bemanning, passagiers, het schip zelf en het milieu. Ook omdat er een kans is dat een windmolen bij een aanvaring op een schip valt.

Tot 2030 worden er in de Noordzee alleen al zo'n 2500 windmolens geplaatst. Daardoor neemt de kans op ongelukken ook toe. Volgens MARIN kan het gemiddeld zo'n twee keer per jaar voorkomen dat een schip een aanvaring met een windmolen heeft. Gemiddeld tachtig keer per jaar raakt een schip op drift op de Noordzee.

Nederland zet meer in op windenergie
Verdubbeling van geplande capaciteit goed nieuws voor bouwers en toeleveranciers.

(ABM FN-Dow Jones) Nederland wil 10,7 gigawatt aan extra windenergie gaan genereren en wijst daarvoor drie nieuwe gebieden voor windparken op zee aan. Dit maakte het kabinet vrijdag bekend.

Ook werden twee al eerder aangewezen gebieden bevestigd.

Met deze vijf gebieden wordt de totale geplande capaciteit voor energie van wind op zee verdubbeld tot ongeveer 21 gigawatt rond 2030.

"Dit is een belangrijke mijlpaal in de transitie naar meer duurzame energie. Ter vergelijking, 10,7 gigawatt extra is twee keer zoveel als alle Nederlandse huishoudens samen gebruiken aan elektriciteit. Rond 2030 willen we 21 gigawatt uit windenergie op zee halen, waarmee windenergie op zee in 2030 onze grootste bron van elektriciteit is", zei minister Rob Jetten van Klimaat en Energie in een toelichting.

Om de plannen deels te financieren wordt 1,7 miljard euro uit het Klimaatfonds beschikbaar gesteld.

ZEBRA Produces First Prototype of Recyclable Wind Turbine Blade

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
24 Mar, 2022, 5:30 am

The ZEBRA, Zero wastE Blade ReseArch, consortium has marked a new step forward on the industry’s transition to a circular economy with the production of the first prototype of its 100% recyclable wind turbine blade. The 62m blade was made using Arkema’s Elium resin, which is a thermoplastic resin well known for its recyclable properties together with the new high performance Glass Fabrics from Owens Corning.

Launched in September 2020, the ZEBRA (Zero wastE Blade ReseArch) project is a unique partnership led by French research center IRT Jules Verne and brings together industrial companies including Arkema, CANOE, Engie, LM Wind Power, Owens Corning and SUEZ. Its purpose is to demonstrate the technical, economic, and environmental relevance of thermoplastic wind turbine blades on a full scale, with an eco-design approach to facilitate recycling.

Within the project, LM Wind Power has designed and built the world’s largest thermoplastic blade at its Ponferrada plant in Spain. This milestone is achieved after a year of material development and testing backed by sub-component level process trials by the consortium partners.

The liquid thermoplastic resin is perfectly adapted for the manufacturing of large parts by resin infusion, combined with Owens Corning high performance fabrics. The resulting composite material is delivering similar performances to thermoset resins but with a key unique benefit: recyclability.

Elium based composite components can be recycled using an advanced method called chemical recycling that enables to fully depolymerize the resin, separate the fiber from the resin and recover a new virgin resin & High Modulus Glass ready to be reused, closing the loop. This method, developed by Arkema and CANOE partners, are tested on all composite parts including waste generated from production. Owens Corning is also in charge of finding solutions for fiberglass recycling through remelting or reusing in various applications.

In addition to material testing and process trials, the companies have also made progress on developing and optimizing the manufacturing process by using automation, to reduce energy consumption and waste from production.

LM Wind Power will now start full-scale structural lifetime testing at its Test and Validation Centre in Denmark, to verify the performance of the composite material used in making the blade and its feasibility for future sustainable blade production. Once these tests are finished, the End Of Life recycling methods will also be validated.

The next steps are the recycling of production waste, the dismantling and recycling of this first blade and the analysis of the test results. By the end of the project in 2023, the consortium will have met the challenge of bringing the wind energy sector into the circular economy loop in a sustainable manner, according to the principles of eco-design.

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
29 Mar, 2022, 6:30 am

Energypark Haringvliet in Netherlands is inaugurated. It is Vattenfall’s first power plant that combines wind, solar and batteries. By combining these technologies, it will be able to produce energy at a lower cost, make a more efficient use of available grid capacity, with less impact on the environment. Therefore, Haringvliet will serve as a blueprint for future projects.

Located 20 kilometers south of Rotterdam, Haringvliet consists of six wind turbines, 115 000 solar panels and a large battery of 12 sea containers full of batteries. All three technologies jointly share the same grid connection. The energy park is expected to produce approximately 140 GWh of electricity annually, an amount equivalent to the consumption of 40 000 Dutch households.

Wind and solar power complement each other well during different seasons and can share the same grid connection, leading to less power needed to be reserved in the grid. The battery ensures that the net remains in balance. Also, the sharing of substation, cables, grid connection and the maintenance of roads saves time, money and have less environment impact.

Nog geen beter forum gevonden dan hier...

De Nederlandse reder Amasus Shipping, gaat haar schip, De EEMS Traveler, voorzien van zuigzeilen, om de kracht van wind te benutten.

Het 91 m lange stukgoederenschip zal tijdens een havenbezoek in 2022 worden uitgerust met twee 17 m hoge eSAILs. Een soortgelijke unit werd in december 2021 door bound4blue geïnstalleerd op La Naumon, het grootste zuigzeil ooit gebouwd en geïnstalleerd op een schip.

De reder zei dat de zuigzeilen naar verwachting de brandstofkosten en de jaarlijkse CO2-uitstoot van het 2.850 dwt-schip met tot 30% zullen verminderen op gunstige handelsroutes. De installatie zal ook de Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) van het schip verlagen en de Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) verbeteren, waardoor het verder zal voldoen aan de IMO-maatregelen die gericht zijn op het verminderen van de koolstofintensiteit van de internationale scheepvaart.

Arend-Jan Rozema, algemeen directeur van Amasus Shipping: “De juiste koers zetten is onlosmakelijk verbonden met de scheepvaart. In bound4blue hebben we een solide en professionele partner gevonden in onze missie als Amasus om de energetische voetafdruk van onze vloot te verkleinen. Wij zijn van mening dat wind een van de meest duurzame energiebronnen is die beschikbaar is en indien mogelijk ten volle moet worden gebruikt. Het verminderen van het energieverbruik door het combineren van meerdere technieken is de beste weg naar Duurzame Scheepvaart.”

1,400 Tonne Substation for RWE Kaskasi Wind Farm Installed

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
07 Apr, 2022, 6:30 am

Kaskasi is RWE’s sixth wind farm off the German coast, the 342 megawatt project is being built 35 kilometres north of the island of Heligoland and recently celebrated a ‘wedding ‘on the high seas. A ‘wedding’ is what the construction process is called when the substation topside is successfully placed on the foundation. The offshore substation is the heart, where electricity generated by each wind turbine flows together to be converted to the necessary transmission voltage.

The journey of the 1,400 tonne substation topside started in Danish Aalborg at the manufacturing facility of Bladt Industries and took two days to ship across the North Sea. Gulliver, a Floating Heavy Lift Vessel of SCALDIS, placed the substation onto the monopile foundation, completing the installation of the heaviest component of the Kaskasi offshore wind farm.

In parallel, foundation installation works are underway: With Seaway 7’s Strashnov, DEME’s Neptune and Sea Challenger and Fred Olsen’s Blue Tern, four vessels are engaged in the installation of a total of 38 monopile foundations for the wind turbines and their transition pieces. The foundations, each up to 64 metres long, weigh up to 740 tonnes – approximately equivalent to 600 small cars. The operations and processes at the offshore construction site are coordinated around the clock by the RWE Control Room on Heligoland. The nautical staff at Ems Maritime Offshore are supporting the RWE team.

To install the foundations into the seabed at depths of 18 to 25 metres, RWE is utilising two installation methods: conventional hammering and innovative vibro pile driving technology, which has the potential to reduce underwater noise emissions. This benefits the marine environment in particular. The pilot implementation of the vibro technology at Kaskasi is accompanied by the “VISSKA” research project, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action.

Iberdrola Gets Approval for UK's Undersea Energy Mega Highway

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
07 Apr, 2022, 6:30 am

The UK electricity market regulator Ofgem has granted the consortium formed by Iberdrola, through its subsidiary ScottishPower Energy Networks and National Grid Electricity Transmission, provisional approval to build the 2-gigawatt power line linking Scotland to the north-east of England. It is one of two submarine cables that make up the Eastern Link project, which includes another cable of the same nature and capacity being developed by the consortium between the electricity utility SSE and National Grid.

According to Ofgem, this new transmission infrastructure is needed to improve the capacity of the interconnection network between Scotland and England and enable renewable energy produced in Scotland to reach the country's most energy-intensive regions. At an estimated cost of £3.4 billion for the two links, Eastern Link would be the largest electricity transmission investment project in Britain's recent history.

Together, the two cables will form an undersea superhighway capable of carrying enough electricity to meet the demand of around four million UK homes. The Iberdrola and National Grid project will run between Torness (Scotland) and Hawthorn Pit (England), while the SSE and NGET project will link Peterhead (Scotland) and Selby (England).

Ofgem has stated that progress on interconnections, essential to the UK's energy transition, represents a clear benefit for consumers. Ofgem's decision will also accelerate investment in renewable energy sources, essential for decarbonisation and the country's energy independence.

Orsted & ESVAGT Join for Green Fuel Vessel for Offshore Wind

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
18 Apr, 2022, 6:30 am

Orsted and ESVAGT are taking a bold step to help decarbonise the maritime sector as well as the offshore wind industry. As part of a new pioneering agreement, Ørsted, the world leader in offshore wind, and ESVAGT, a market leader in service and support for offshore wind, have decided to invest in the world’s first service operation vessel that can operate on green fuels. The SOV will be powered by batteries and dual fuel engines, capable of sailing on renewable e-methanol, produced from wind energy and biogenic carbon, which will lead to a yearly emission reduction of approx. 4,500 tonnes of CO2.

The maritime sector urgently needs new green fuels, which today come at a higher cost than the fossil-based alternatives. By ordering the new SOV, Ørsted and ESVAGT are showing their commitment to a green maritime sector and helping create the needed demand to accelerate to cost reductions of green fuels for the maritime industry. The investment decision also sends a clear signal that the future for both service and installation vessels is green. For the new SOV, Ørsted intends to supply the e-methanol.

An offshore wind farm already has 99 % lower emissions than a coal fired power station, seen over the entire lifetime of the asset, including production, construction, and installation. Today’s announcement between ESVAGT and Ørsted will be a step on the way towards mitigating the remaining emissions. Furthermore, the decision to invest in the new green fuel SOV supports Ørsted’s target of becoming carbon-neutral in its energy generation and own operations by 2025 and is a tangible example of the company’s decarbonisation journey towards its science-based target of reaching net-zero emissions across the full value chain by 2040. Ørsted is the first energy company in the world with a science-based net-zero target, validated by Science Based Targets initiative.

ESVAGT will start building the vessel in the second quarter of 2022. Once commissioned by the end of 2024, the SOV will start servicing the world’s largest offshore wind farm, Hornsea 2, off the UK’s east coast.
