據(jù)海上工程師數(shù)字網(wǎng)2023年4月12日?qǐng)?bào)道，意大利著名能源服務(wù)公司薩伊博姆（Saipem）在蘇格蘭最大的海上風(fēng)電場(chǎng)Seagreen項(xiàng)目成功安裝了被稱為世界上最深的海上風(fēng)力渦輪機(jī)地基。

4月7日，Seaway 7公司用一艘駁船將海上風(fēng)力渦輪機(jī)地基運(yùn)到海上現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，隨后半潛式起重船“薩伊博姆7000”將2000噸渦輪機(jī)的地基全部吊裝到位。

“海上風(fēng)力渦輪機(jī)地基的成功安裝意味著Segreen項(xiàng)目已經(jīng)打破了自2022年10月以來(lái)的紀(jì)錄，當(dāng)時(shí)在57.4米(約188英尺)深處安裝了一個(gè)地基。最深的地基已經(jīng)安裝在58.6米深的地方。”Seagreen項(xiàng)目的合作伙伴SSE可再生能源公司表示。

這一里程碑也標(biāo)志著由114臺(tái)風(fēng)力渦輪機(jī)組成的風(fēng)力發(fā)電場(chǎng)的第112個(gè)導(dǎo)管架的成功安裝，該風(fēng)力發(fā)電場(chǎng)是SSE可再生能源公司和法國(guó)道達(dá)爾能源公司投資30億英鎊組建的合資企業(yè)。最終的風(fēng)力渦輪機(jī)地基預(yù)計(jì)將在本周晚些時(shí)候安裝。

Segreen項(xiàng)目總監(jiān)約翰·希爾表示：“每次地基安裝都有超過(guò)50人參與，包括陸上團(tuán)隊(duì)、壓艙工程師、拖船船長(zhǎng)、船員、索具裝配員、焊工、拖船師傅和領(lǐng)航員。”

希爾說(shuō)：“在這樣一個(gè)具有挑戰(zhàn)性的地理區(qū)域，我們能夠在這樣的深度安裝導(dǎo)管架，這提高了英國(guó)的能源安全，也意味著消費(fèi)者可以從北海的強(qiáng)風(fēng)中受益。”

每個(gè)地基將支持一臺(tái)維斯塔斯V164-10兆瓦渦輪機(jī)。第一次發(fā)電在2022年8月實(shí)現(xiàn)，海上風(fēng)電場(chǎng)預(yù)計(jì)將在今年晚些時(shí)候投入商業(yè)運(yùn)營(yíng)。” 

建成后，這座1.1吉瓦的世界最深海上風(fēng)電場(chǎng)每年將能夠產(chǎn)生大約5000吉瓦時(shí)的電力，足以為160多萬(wàn)個(gè)英國(guó)家庭供電。

World's Deepest Offshore Wind Foundation Installed in Scotland

Italian energy services firm Saipem has installed what has been described as the world’s deepest offshore wind turbine foundation at Scotland’s largest offshore wind farm – Seagreen.

Last Friday, Seaway 7 transported the jacket foundation on a barge to the offshore site it was met by the semisubmersible crane vessel Saipem 7000 which is used to lift each of the 2,000-tonne turbine foundations into place.

"The installation of the jacket means Seagreen has now topped its own record from October 2022, when a previous foundation was installed at a depth of 57.4 meters (approximately 188 feet). The deepest foundation has been installed at a depth of 58.6 meters," SSE Renewables, a partner in the Seagreen project, said.

The milestone also marked the installation of the 112th jacket at the 114-wind turbine wind farm which is a ￡3bn joint venture between SSE Renewables and TotalEnergies. The final wind turbine foundation is expected to be installed later this week.

John Hill, Seagreen's Project Director said: "More than 50 people are involved each time a foundation installation takes place including the onshore team, ballast engineer, tug captain, crew, riggers, welders, tow master and pilot.

Our ability to install jackets at this depth, in what is a challenging geographical area, boosts the UK’s energy security and means that consumers can benefit from the strong winds available far out in the North Sea."

Each foundation will support a Vestas V164-10 MW turbine. First power was achieved in August 2022 with the offshore wind farm expected to enter commercial operation later this year."

When complete, the 1.1GW wind farm will be capable of generating around 5,000 GWh of electricity annually, which is enough to power more than 1.6 million UK homes.,
