CSBC-Deme Wind Engineering (CDWE) has successfully installed the first offshore substation (OSS) topside at the Hai Long offshore wind farm off Changhua, Taiwan.
The 1,022MW wind project comprises three wind farms: the 294MW Hai Long 2A, 224MW Hai Long 2B and 504MW Hai Long 3. It is being developed by a joint venture between Northland Power, Yushan Energy and Gentari.
CDWE called the installation of the first OSS “a major milestone” for the company and for GreenJade – Taiwan's first locally built large offshore wind turbine installation vessel with a 360-degree rotating crane.
“Within the first year this mighty vessel has proven what she was built for, following the vessel's successful completion of multiple jacket installations from a barge, jacket installations from deck, pin pile installations and now also complete OSS installations.”
The OSS topside, which is 52 metres long, 38 metres wide and 32 metres high, weighs more than 2,800 tonnes and sits on a four-legged steel jacket foundation.
