Ocergy Floaters Selected For 100 MW Project Off Scotland

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Splash247.com.

These two paragraphs outline Ocergy’s OCG-Wind foundation technology.

The Salamander floating offshore wind project, a joint venture between Simply Blue Group, Ørsted and Subsea 7, has awarded the pre-FEED (front-end engineering design) deal to Ocergy for its OCG-Wind foundation technology.

The US-based Ocergy has developed a novel semisub floater called OCG-Wind, to support turbines larger than 10 MW, designed for the development of large-scale wind farms. It is targeting a levelised cost of energy (LCOE) that can start to drive reductions in floating offshore wind farms to eventually be competitive with fixed offshore wind farms.

Note.

1. There is a picture showing two turbines on OCG-Wind floats.
2. Salamander is intended to be an INTOG project of 100 MW.
3. The floaters are expected to be fabricated at Global Energy Group’s Port of Nigg.
4. ERM’s Dolphyn electrolysis, desalination and hydrogen production concept is also planned for the project.

The Salamander project is certainly going for a lot of innovation.
