World-First Offshore Green Energy Charging System At Sea Installed at Sea
Parkwind has installed the world’s first offshore green energy charging station for vessels developed in collaboration with UK-based MJR Power & Automation.
The innovative system installed at the Nobelwind wind farm in the Belgian North Sea enables maintenance vessels to use locally supplied renewable electricity.
The Nobelwind wind farm, located 47 kilometers off the coast, is Parkwind’s third offshore project.
It has 50 turbines spread over 19.8 km² and generates enough power for almost 190,000 households.
The charging system designed for both Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV) charging up to 2MW and Service Operation Vessel (SOV) charging up to 8MW was transported and assembled on-site in two days.
The trial demonstrated the system’s ability to safely transfer electricity from the wind farm to the vessels without disrupting the farm’s operations.
