HVAC Booster Turbine Concept

Offshore Technology

To design a new guiding system for installation of HVAC booster stations and cable handling concept that will make offshore wind parks more cost-efficient.

Project description

Siemens Wind Power is in the process of developing a novel HVAC booster turbine concept. It is part of Siemens’ cost reduction strategy in order to bring down the total cost by 40% for an entire offshore wind farm. The cost of installing an offshore booster turbine station including cable handling represent typically 10-15 % of the total costs of deploying an offshore wind park. Therefore, lowering these costs is one of the key elements to lower the total Levelized Costs of Energy (LCoE). The objective of this project is to design a new guiding system for installation of HVAC booster stations and a cable handling concept that will make offshore wind parks more cost-efficient.

The project is divided into 3 main work packages:

  • Guiding system for installation HVAC booster station; Designing the guiding system.

  • Cable handling concept: Designing and developing af plug-and-play concept.

  • Test: test of the cable handling concept.
