Energy transition

chapeau Disruptive technologies – Pushing the boundaries

Changing Energy Landscape

Energy transition and a drive for reduced reliance on imported energy is further accelerating the already rapid development of the offshore wind industry. As the future power source of choice compared to other established fossil fired and nuclear options, offshore wind is being quoted as being cheaper than nuclear power with much easier public acceptance.

The Biden administration have announced plans which would see 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy being in place by 2030, equivalent to the current capacity available across Europe. This plan represents approximately 2,000 offshore wind turbines supplying 10 million homes.

Notwithstanding the drive for increasing capacity as quickly as possible, there is a focus on reducing the cost of offshore wind while increasing the quality of the installation. This requires constant innovation as the issues and problems faced by customers are defined. ‘Reduced cost – faster, safer, higher quality operations’ are the key market drivers.

In support of this, industry has stepped up to the challenge, presenting disruptive technologies and processes that enable the work to be done more economically with step changes in performance. This innovation is taking place both in the technology and business models that are being offered to the industry.

Changing status quo

However, introducing new technology is not an easy process with new

techniques and products requiring rigorous testing and proving programmes prior to first use in a commercial application.

Essentially, there is a mismatch between the requirement for technological advancement and the perceived risk profile of the projects which demand proven methods and procedures. The result of which is that new systems only come into play when the cost benefits they offer clearly outweigh their perceived risks.

Cable Conundrums – Trenching

Offshore wind farms feature multiple short runs of cable connecting wind turbines to each other and then to a substation. The approach of the cables to the turbines and especially to the sub stations requires trenching in tight geometrical constraints.

Due to the requirement for relatively tight radius trenching turns on the approach to turbine towers and offshore substations, the trenching vehicle must be very manoeuvrable. However, traditional two track systems experience a number of issues including:

• Skid steer reducing forward cutting pressure • Sudden pitching as the trencher centre of balance moves over the crest of a sand-wave or obstacle • Fixed suspension leading to variability in grading of the trench when passing over boulders or ice scour regions

Royal IHC produced a technology demonstrator to show how these challenges could be overcome. Based on the results delivered by the demonstrator, a production variant was developed and constructed. The Hi-Traq (High Traction) Trencher was purpose built to provide high traction capability and manoeuvrability in difficult seabed topographies and high currents which are common in shallow water. The Hi-Traq incorporates high traction drives ensuring it can climb the subsea slopes and boulders it may encounter while maintaining the product grading within the trench.

Traction capability is strongly governed by the Mean Maximum Pressure (MMP) of the tracks on the seabed. The Hi-Traq employs several techniques to allow a high ground contact and even ground pressure to provide maximum traction in all conditions:

Pivoting tracks - Each of the four tracks is capable of pivoting, allowing them to follow the contours of the terrain with no reduction in forward cutting pressure Active suspension - As with a pipe line plough’s adjustable skids, each of the pivoting tracks is mounted on active suspension arms to maintain a vertically sided, well graded trench even in the event that the vehicle is manoeuvring over boulders or ice scour regions. No Breakover point - Since the vehicle has four pivoting tracks it does not exhibit the phenomenon of a breakover point which is the sudden pitching of the vehicle as the centre of balance moves over the crest of an obstacle. Grading control - Ability to use the loads the product applies to the vehicle to allow smooth product grading within the trench due to changing bottom topography of the seabed.

Building track record

Even with a comprehensive test and demonstration phase and Royal IHC funding the production of Hi-Traq, the route to market wasn’t quite as planned.

Despite positive signals from the offshore wind installers, no-one was willing to accept a vehicle with no operational track record.

The story may well have ended there, but thanks to the resilience of all involved in the project and a client who was able to see the potential and disruptive advancement that Hi-Traq could bring to their application, it is now in active operation and performing as expected across multiple trenching markets.

A second iteration is now in development which will introduce further step changes in innovation, fully releasing the potential of Hi-Traq to operate across multiple markets and applications.

Understanding and optimisation of bubble screens in offshore wind sector installations

During model tests, MARIN has gained new experiences and insights into the hydrodynamics of bubbles within the Bubbles JIP. Ultimately, the research will lead to improvements in bubble screens deployed offshore.

Figure 2: Hydrodynamic measurement system operating in bubble curtain.

A consortium of research institutes and industry partners involved in the offshore wind sector started the Bubbles JIP in 2019. The aim of the JIP is to achieve more efficient and effective use of bubble curtains deployed for noise mitigation in offshore installation projects by improved engineering of the bubble screen. Within the JIP, MARIN is involved in the laboratory tests and modelling of the hydrodynamics of the bubble curtain.

Improved engineering

Bubble screens are currently used to mitigate noise during the installation of offshore wind turbines. The noise generated by high-energy piling of the turbine foundations could potentially harm marine life. Improved engineering of the bubble screen would lead to better control and therefore, risks with respect to specific noise requirements are reduced. To accomplish these goals, laboratory tests are conducted to investigate parameters influencing the noise attenuation by air bubbles. Additionally, the understanding of bubble generation and bubble growth over the water depth under the influence of waves and currents is also addressed. A more efficient use of the bubble curtains will limit the CO2 footprint due to overcapacity of the compressors used to set up the bubble curtains.

Hydrodynamics

The tests are divided into two separate scopes. The first set of tests was conducted in the Concept Basin

Figure 1: Bubble curtain in the Offshore Basin (photo GROW).

and focused on the bubble generation with different types of delivery hoses and a range of air supply rates. For each of these configurations, the gas fraction and bubble distribution are measured throughout the bubble plume. A new measurement system has been developed to be able to measure the gas fraction, based on conductivity measurement techniques and optical techniques. Combining the optical and conductivity techniques gave a fascinating insight into the hydrodynamics of the bubble screen as a result of a variation of various bubble generation hoses and different mass flow rates.

The second scope is performed in the Offshore Basin, to understand the behaviour of the bubble screen in different environmental conditions. No scaling is applied in these tests, since linear scaling would not deal with the laboratory environment and the size of the bubbles, due to water depth, temperature, salinity and other aspects. Based on previous acoustic tests, the Offshore Basin was suitable to perform acoustic and hydrodynamic tests on a bubble plume with a depth of 10 m in combination with environmental impacts such as currents. The influence of currents and waves is investigated in these tests and the same measurement system is used for these tests in waves and currents in deeper water. A linear bubble curtain over the width of the basin is produced, which is shown in figure 1. The bubble concentration, gas fraction and bubble distribution are investigated over the full depth of the bubble plume. This gives insight into how the bubbles rise and interact on their way up to the surface.

Acoustic tests

To measure the noise mitigation of these bubble screens in a controlled environment, acoustic measurements are performed as well. With the assistance of TNO, the noise transfer of bubbles is investigated for all hose parameters, as well as for the influence of waves and currents. The results of the hydrodynamic, acoustic and measurements on air pressures and flow rates will be used in the numerical modelling of bubble curtains. It turned out that the bubble size distribution is different for different types of hoses and also depends on the environmental conditions and hydrostatic pressure. Within this project the expertise of all the partners contributes to the optimisation of bubble screens in offshore wind applications.

The Bubbles JIP is supported by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and TKI Wind op Zee. The partners in the ‘GROW’ consortium are: Boskalis, IHC, Seaway Heavy Lifting, TNO, TU Delft, Van Oord, Heerema Marine Contractors, Wageningen Marine Research and MARIN.

New modes of fast, reliable and efficient transport for offshore crew and provisions promise to boost operations for offshore energy operations. Vessels that sail at high speed even in the roughest conditions and that are able to provide safe and easy transfers from ship to offshore assets offer improved crew welfare along with increased passenger capacity and a comfortable ride.

Next generation of offshore crew change

The portfolio of Fast Crew Suppliers (FCS) from Damen Shipyards offers solutions which are able to sail at speeds of up to 40 knots and cut through waves with heights of up to three meters, typical North Sea conditions on its more windy days. It is the Damen Axe Bow that enables its largest crew supply vessel to date, the FCS 7011, to power up the waterjets to reach its impressive speed in such waves. Likewise, the twin axe bow design of the FCS 2710 ensures seaworthiness at speed in rough conditions. Both vessels are purpose-designed to offer very comfortable crew transport along with impressively modest fuel consumption and low emissions.

Proof of concept

At the end of March 2022, the all new FCS 7011 Aqua Helix completed the first actual transfer of crew to an offshore substation in the North Sea. The final testing to demonstrate the proof-of-concept of the 120-passenger vessel followed extensive sea trials and testing of the onboard Ampelmann stabilized gangway. The fast monohull FCS 7011 (with a length overall of 73.6 meters and beam of 11.2 meters) is built in aluminium. The weight reduction achieved by choosing this lightweight material makes it possible to sail at such high speeds.

The axe bow greatly reduces slamming end pitching while the biggest gyrostabilizer in the world reduces rolling at zero speed down to 10 per cent of the motion that would otherwise occur without stabilization.

Once the FCS 7011 is positioned alongside a platform or installation at sea to transfer its offshore workers, the Ampelmann gangway can swing out to a maximum of 180 degrees. This allows the vessel to optimally position itself with regard to the incoming wind and waves. The gangway can then extend to a length of 26 meters.

Gyroscope-fed computer technology enables the S-type stabilized gangway to be completely motionless relative to the platform balcony, so the offshore workers can transfer easily and safely in harsh and remote offshore locations. Major offshore energy players like Shell and Exxon provided valuable input that inspired Damen engineers to develop the vessel. Damen Shipyards and Ampelmann joined forces to operate this game changer in offshore crew transport in-house. The passenger capacity of 120 persons is bigger than the typical crew change at North Sea platforms and, thanks to its speed and capacity, Aqua Helix can deliver and retrieve personnel from multiple platforms in a single trip and still offer competitive transfer times and enhanced comfort compared to helicopters. Other areas that require larger numbers of crew to be delivered in a single transfer, for which the FCS 7011 is ideally suited, include offshore West Africa, Australia, Guyana, Brazil and the Gulf of Mexico, where offshore platforms are often further out to sea.

Hybrid

The twin axe bow FCS 2710, is another vessel that has met with an enthusiastic reception from the offshore industry. It is a catamaran design that offers capabilities that fit with the demands of offshore supply but at a smaller scale and is especially popular in the offshore wind sector. As with the FCS 7011, the axe bow design enables fast sailing on rough seas and the catamaran format offers excellent stability.

As part of their commitment towards sustainability, and in line with the objectives of the global offshore wind sector, Damen Shipyards have developed alongside their fuel efficient diesel powered FCS 2710, the FCS 2710 Hybrid. 26.8 meters long and10.5 metres across, the vessel can take up to 26 passengers, has 90 square meters of deck area for assorted cargo and can reach speeds of up to 25 knots. A 232 kWh battery pack allows sailing with zero emissions in port and within offshore wind farms. The generators and main engines are fuel efficient even without electrical support and all comply with IMO tier III emission standards. With a fleet of FCS 2710s already in operation, Damen Shipyards has started c onstruction of three more of the hybrid vessels at the Damen Antalya yard to be built for stock. The shipbuilder is convinced that these vessels offer such superior capabilities for offshore operators that they will be quickly sold. For clients, buying their vessels from stock means extremely short delivery times. Customisation involving the addition of cranes, additional battery packs and other deck equipment to meet specific needs can also be done prior to delivery.

Change

Damen Shipyards Group has set out to revolutionize the offshore crew change market with their fleet of fast vessels offering genuine alternatives to the current helicopter business model. Improvements in safety, costs and fuel efficiency are the pillars that support Damen together with its partners in their drive to change this market. More than any other, the flagship FCS 7011 demonstrates the potential that these vessels have to transform the entire offshore energy market.

Air cooled and dehumidified by POD Cooler

VDL Klima develops and manufactures heat exchangers, coolers and ventilation systems for various industries, such as the maritime industry, on & offshore wind and the oil and gas industry. One example of a product for the maritime industry is the POD Cooler.

Ships, they come in all shapes and sizes. One ship is used to transport goods, while another serves as a luxury cruise vessel. But what remains the same for all ships is that they are powered by an engine with propeller. This is one of the points where VDL Klima is asked for its expertise. It is crucial that this engine, whether fuel or electric, does not overheat.

Podded propulsion system

The VDL Klima POD Cooler is an integral part of the podded propulsion system. The podded propulsion system, also known as the POD drive, is a marine propulsion system. The system consists of an electric motor that is placed in a nacelle which drives the ship’s propeller. The electric motor is subsequently cooled by the VDL Klima POD Cooler. The nacelles mounted on a steerable shaft that is placed completely outside the ship’s hull, below the water surface.

The POD drive is special because of its mobility. The application can rotate completely (360 degrees) and thus generate thrust in all directions, something that is not possible with a conventional system. VDL Klima designs, produces and exports these coolers for a number of major customers. For example, the cruise vessel ‘Oasis of the Seas’, one of the largest cruise vessels in the world, is powered by three Azipods (trademark of ABB) equipped with VDL Klima POD Coolers. Also more and more (ice-going) LNG tankers are being equipped with podded propulsion systems. VDL Klima is specialist in supplying the cooling systems, due to its unique design and many years of experience in this field.

Unique features

Before production actually starts, it is important that the capacity of the cooler is calculated. This involves questions such as ‘What kind of ship is it’, ‘Where is the ship sailing’ and ‘What is the capacity that needs to be cooled’. The dimensions of the cooler are also important, because it has to

fit within the design of the ship. Technical specialists from the sales department, engineering department and the VDL Klima R&D team consult with the customer regarding the criteria the cooler needs to meet. Once everything has been agreed, the final production can begin. The POD Cooler is made entirely in-house. This means that late changes to the design can easily be incorporated into the final product, while retaining the flexibility, agreed price and delivery time. As every POD Cooler is unique, the test phase is very important and this is also done in-house. The lead time for the entire project is around 14 weeks.

How does it work?

Every electric motor generates heat. For an optimal performance of the POD drive, this heat must securely be dissipated. The heated air is extracted from the electromotor by a radial fan and circulates from the nacelle through the casing/shaft of the POD drive. This air is cooled and dehumidified using VDL Klima’s POD Cooler. This is done by means of a KDL (heat exchanger) designed by VDL Klima, especially for the application. With the help of the fan, the heated air is led along a system of tubes and fins. Cold water, originating from the sea, flows through the tube system cooling the heated air that flows through the fins of the heat exchanger. This cooled air will in turn return to the electric motor. This cooling system is a so-called closed system: the cooling air is continuously ‘recycled’ to exclude external influences such as fluctuations in ambient temperature, humidity and pollution.

Related services

VDL Klima currently supplies its products mostly to OEMs or a shipyard that build the ship on behalf of a shipping company. Yet VDL Klima is increasingly involved earlier in the engineering process, also with the shipping companies and the engineering agencies in order to ultimately gain more insight into the customer’s total requirements. As a result, these needs can be anticipated in the design phase of the cooler, what in return will support the customer in the optimum design of his ship.

CAPE Holland: redefining the future of (XXL) monopile installation

An incredible amount of development, engineering and manufacturing has taken place in the past years at CAPE Holland and their trusted suppliers to build the next level CAPE Vibro Lifting Tool (CAPE VLT). It is ready for the XXL monopiles the Offshore Wind industry will see in the years to come.

Building on the large track record that has been built up with the CAPE VLT-320 range, which was first deployed in 2015, the CAPE VLT-640 range has been developed over the last 2 years. With the complete unit finished in September 2021, the CAPE VLT-640 has numerous new features in order to operate very large vibro lifting tools and a lot of work has gone into streamlining the design of the hydraulic connections, further reducing the risk of failures during the project. With an enormous power of 640 kgm per unit, the CAPE VLT-640 gearbox is by far the largest single gearbox vibro hammer in the world. Then combining 3 units together to form the CAPE VLT-640 Triple, this monster machine is ready for piles weighing more than 1,000t.

Developments are already underway to increase the maximum line pull per 640 unit to 1,000t, allowing a CAPE CAPE VLT-640 Triple to upend, lift and drive piles to well over 2,000t. It’s bigger brother, the CAPE VLT-640 Quad will then be ready for the largest XXL monopiles weighing up to 3,000t and which are planned for the longer term future for Wind Turbine Generators going towards the 20MW. The control system has also been improved and is now including a highly sophisticated installation monitoring system.

In order to be able to power the large CAPE VLT’s without taking up a lot more deck space, CAPE Holland has further developed the power units that can now also be stacked. As before, the CAPE Power Units are dual prepared which means they can drive both the CAPE VLT and impact hammer

on the same job to save on deck space and rental of double set of power units. The CAPE Holland operators can also operate both the CAPE VLT’s as the impact hammers, so a further saving on personnel helps to keep the costs down. The newly developed Hose Reels can also be stacked and house the smartly bundled hoses in neat umbilical’s for a tidier hose handling.

Vibro technology

With vibro driving, the pile is not forced into the soil by high energy blows, but actually sinks into the soil by gravity due to the temporary reduced soil resistance around the pile caused by the vertical vibrations. This means that the pile deforms less and therefore generates substantial less noise than impact driving. Once the vibro is turned off, the soil is regaining most of its strength immediately. The rest of the setup of the soil will be regained over time. In order to be able to vibrate the pile in a vertical motion, it is paramount that the vibro tool has a fixed connection to the pile. This is normally achieved by hydraulic clamps. This fixed connection brings a number of added advantages to this installation method, like the ability to extract piles, prevent pile run, controlled installation without requiring a gripper system or piling frame.

Noise mitigation

After entering the offshore market with vibro hammers back in 2007, CAPE Holland developed a multiple vibro for the first ever monopile for a wind turbine generator in 2012. Offshore Germany, the monopiles for the Riffgat Offshore Wind Farm were driven to a stable depth, without noise mitigation before they were driven to their final depth with an impact hammer.

The success of driving the 30 monopiles to the desired depth, in about 20 minutes net driving time, on average per pile, convinced the CAPE management that there was a gap in the market for a fast way of driving piles, with very little noise impact.

Combined features

The management realised, however, that the large onshore vibro hammers were not ideal for offshore use and in 2014 they took the plunge and developed a dedicated vibro hammer for the offshore market. It incorporated an upending facility and was designed and built as a lifting tool, certified for lifting offshore. Due to the combination of the lifting tool and vibro driver, the CAPE Vibro Lifting Tool or CAPE VLT in short, was born.

Massive benefits

Having showed its great potential with the CAPE VLT-320 during the pre-piling of jacket piles for a gas platform, CAPE Holland built the first multiple linked CAPE VLT in 2016. This was for the installation of a monopile for the foundation of an unmanned gas platform in the Dutch part of the North Sea. By using the CAPE VLT the pile could be installed, without any form of support frame during driving.

More and more offshore contractors saw the massive benefits of the CAPE VLT, fuelling the demand for a smaller version, which led to the development of the CAPE VLT-80 with a range from 20 to 30 inch with the internal clamp IC-60. This compact unit, which has been flown out to a few projects around the globe already, is mostly used for the installation of pin piles for seabed structures and anchor piles for mooring systems. This has a great potential for anchor piles for floating wind projects.

It has been used successfully in the Caspian Sea to water depths of 170m installing tether piles to final penetration, saving an enormous amount of installation time driving the piles free hanging, as a seabed frame nor tool changes were required, as the full installation from picking up the stored piles, to driving them to final penetration before picking up the next pile happened with the same tool. The whole installation campaign, took less than half the time it would have taken with the traditional installation method.

Most powerful

In April 2020 CAPE Holland was awarded a contract by Seaway 7 to supply a CAPE VLT-640 Triple with a total capacity of 1,920 kgm. This version has multiple vibro hammers linked together, making it the most powerful vibro lifting tool in the world.

In January 2022, the CAPE VLT was successfully load tested to complete the lifting appliance certification process under Lloyd’s Register Code for Lifting Appliances in a Marine Environment (CLAME).

Reaching Net Zero with Green Hydrogen

If you’ve read the news today, you were likely reminded of the dire need for companies to transition to renewable energy. The news is stark - emphasizing the consequences if we stay on the same path of fossil fuels and oils. But the good news is there is hope as key players are choosing to make an investment in green hydrogen, the only form of hydrogen that doesn’t emit carbon.

As the first company to believe in the Hydrogen Revolution, Plug has been powering both large and small companies around the world for 25 years. With a commitment to developing effective, economical, and reliable products, Plug has built an end-to-end green hydrogen ecosystem that covers all the steps of operations, including producing, storing, dispensing, and delivering green hydrogen to customers. When it comes to helping the world reach net-zero, Plug takes the responsibility personally, and it is attacking the problem at all angles.

End-to-end

“At Plug, we dream big, and we plan to be a big winner, as our customers in the world turn to green hydrogen to reduce 20% of the world’s global carbon footprint,” Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug, said. “Plug is a company that can provide products and services for the entire green hydrogen ecosystem. This is unique. We can generate hydrogen, like at our plant in Tennessee. We can distribute hydrogen, using our own liquid and gaseous hydrogen trailers. We can operate fueling stations, like at Walmart and Amazon, and can serve a multitude of fuel cell applications in this growing hydrogen space.”

Experts agree green hydrogen is the key to safely powering at least

20% of our world.

With its customers in mind, Plug built an end-to-end ecosystem with more than 100 solutions, 50,000 fuel cell systems, and more than 165 fueling stations for a range of customer applications. Plug’s customers can expect the green hydrogen production plants to produce at least 70 tons of liquid green hydrogen daily by the end of 2022 and 500 tons daily by 2025. However, this is just the beginning of the transition to green hydrogen.

Delivering electrolyzers

With nearly five decades of experience, Plug has developed electrolyzers that have very high current densities, high-pressure output, and seamless load following capabilities. Plug’s electrolyzers will be supplied to customers in Canada, Germany, France, Australia, Brazil, and India, among others. These electrolyzers will support a range of applications, including natural gas pipeline injection, excess renewable energy storage, FCEV fueling, green ammonia and e-methanol production, and decarbonization of refinery operations.

100 MW electrolyzer

Fertiglobe, the strategic partnership between OCI N.V. and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company - recently selected Plug to provide 100 megawatts of electrolyzer to produce green hydrogen as a feedstock for up to 90,000 tons of green ammonia production at EBIC in Ain Sokhna, Egypt. Green ammonia, produced from renewable energy such as solar and wind instead of natural gas, is a versatile product that is an ideal carrier fuel to store and transport hydrogen, and can help decarbonize numerous sectors which represent around 80% of current global greenhouse gas emissions.

1MW Offshore Electrolyzer

Plug’s hydrogen electrolyzer technology will provide 1MW of capacity to the world’s first offshore hydrogen production facility developed by Lhyfe and powered by electricity from a floating wind turbine off the coast of Le Croisic, at SEM-REV, Centrale Nantes’ offshore test site, which will be operational by 2022. Plug and Lhyfe will also pursue other opportunities to develop green hydrogen in Europe.

Dutch offshore access specialist Safeway B.V. and Kristiansand-based sister company Techano AS have signed a corporation agreement with Intellilift AS from Norway to equip the ‘SOVs for the future’. Under the agreement, Intellilift will act as preferred supplier of their proprietary technology in the field of power systems, automation and remote control systems.

All-electric gangway to equip ‘SOV for the future’

The package system includes an all-electric version of Safeway’s original Gannet 3D motion compensated gangway, elevator and 3D crane. The package may be extended with other products such as davits and winches.

Key features of the autonomous gangway are:

•All electric, incl. hybrid-battery • Remote operation • Bridge control system • Auto docking, hover mode

The collaboration will accelerate the development and supply of a fully electrical and automated system, supporting the industrial green shift.

Presently, the Gannet is Safeway’s most advanced type of access system for SOVs, allowing personnel to move safely between the offshore service vessel and offshore wind turbines. Made with trolley operations in mind, the Safeway Gannet has a stepless transfer and 1.2m transit width.

Designed for installation on newbuild SOV’s, the Gannet gangway combines unique features, such as hover mode, roll compensation and highest workability in the market, with strongly reduced actuator motions.

The shift to full electrification, referred to as IntelliSafe, does not only represent a climate-smart technology, it also reduces the overall environmental impact during the construction phase of an offshore wind farm.

The full electrical and automated solutions offer advantages over hydraulic solutions in terms of power consumption, controllability, and remote operation.

Wijnand van Aalst, CEO of Van Aalst Group, to which Safeway and Techano belong, says: “By combining the outstanding performance of our Gannet gangway as well as the advanced load handling and state-of-the-art lifting equipment of Techano with the smart and innovative electrical drive and controls supplied by Intellilift, the new fully electrical Gannet gangway will be ready for all future SOV requirements. We are committed to driving our industry forward, to a more sustainable future and we are confident that cooperating with a reputed company, such as Intellilift, represents a significant step up. Servicing wind farms will become safer and easier than ever before.”
