Industry specialists completed a world-first MCE at Kincardine Windfarm, improving floating wind efficiency and reducing carbon emissions.
A group of industry specialists has accomplished a world first in the wind industry by performing a Major Component Exchange on an offshore floating wind turbine at the Kincardine Offshore Windfarm in Scotland.
According to the firms, the breakthrough in major component exchanges boosts the commercial potential of floating wind energy by making it more cost-effective and efficient. Compared to traditional tow-to-port methods, it also reduces carbon emissions, enhancing the sustainability of offshore wind operations.The wind energy industry has been looking for better ways to handle generator repairs or replacements on offshore turbines.
According to Liftoff, the entire operation was conducted from an offshore support vessel , with crew transfer vessels assisting. This new process avoids the costly and carbon-heavy practice of towing turbines to port, which had been the only option for floating offshore wind farms.
