devoted to his name of the opposite tune
00:13
to think that hi
00:15
I stole it in monotone mr. Clark belong
00:18
at the human height or set an involute
00:20
open balanced yet somewhat within the
00:23
catalog of surely draft so many vaguely
00:25
authoritative a loosening in the eye
00:28
tonight or we took their leader
00:37
sixteen years later an idea on a napkin
00:40
has turned into five gigantic floating
00:43
wind turbines of the coast of Scotland
00:45
the world's first floating went final to
00:54
prove the concept of floating wind
00:56
turbines we first built a full-scale
00:58
demo version of the Norwegian West Coast
01:01
it was a lot of skepticism back in those
01:03
days but we have proven them wrong
01:05
the hiving demo has been producing
01:08
better than expected and given us
01:10
valuable information for the further
01:12
development of the hiving concept of
01:14
shoe-in it's a perfect match for a
01:17
company with long experience and
01:19
knowledge about developing and operating
01:21
offshore facilities floating turbines
01:24
can open up new markets we can go into
01:28
more windy areas and deeper waters high
01:31
wind scotland is testing the concept in
01:33
a park configuration in a year's time or
01:39
less than that we will see five wind
01:42
turbines towards the horizon what will
01:45
not see will be the cables that will
01:49
connect those wind turbines and bring
01:52
the current that is produced into Shore
01:58
all work on land is performed by
02:01
Scottish company Balfour Betty the five
02:03
six megawatt turbines can provide energy
02:06
to twenty thousand UK homes
02:08
[Music]
02:11
the huge suction anchors securing the
02:13
turbines to the seabed are also produced
02:15
in Scotland
02:18
we're all looking at the 15 suction
02:21
anchors located here at I'm constructed
02:23
here at nig energy Park by a global
02:26
energy group the sign is made by Abel in
02:30
Norway there are five meters in diameter
02:32
16 meters tall approximate weight is 111
02:37
tonnes so it's quite a big amount of
02:41
steel going on board this Technic vessel
02:50
the literally huge difference between a
02:53
bottom fixed turbine and the high wind
02:55
turbine is the floating substructure
02:58
these were built by navantia in speed
03:01
[Music]
03:04
the structure is over 90 meters long the
03:08
diameter the biggest diameter is about
03:10
fourteen point four meters and the
03:13
weight is approximately 3,500 tons
03:17
[Music]
03:24
the towers were also built in Spain by
03:27
Nava SIL
03:30
this is one of the hive in Scotland
03:33
tower sections length 20 meters and the
03:37
diameter 6.5 meters
03:43
the turbines were assembled at stored in
03:45
Norway one by one the pieces of the high
03:48
wind puzzle arrived
03:57
[Applause]
03:58
[Music]
04:04
the turbine has grown from the two point
04:07
three to six megawatts from the high
04:09
wind demo and everything else has to be
04:11
upscaled
04:14
the final pieces to arrive at stored
04:16
were the substructures after the sub
04:23
structures are appended they are
04:25
ballasted with 5,000 tons of iron ore on
04:28
the field each turbine is mood to three
04:32
muting lines connected to huge suction
04:35
anchors in the seabed the real brain of
04:38
the high-wing concept is the float the
04:40
motion controller developers total for a
04:42
long time it basically pitches the
04:45
blades to reduce motion and stabilize
04:47
the floater and increase the power
04:49
production in any project and especially
04:52
in a technology development project
04:54
there are challenges technology
04:57
development and a tight project
05:00
execution has been a challenge we have
05:01
15 main contracts managing the
05:04
interfaces between contactors has been a
05:07
challenge we also have some very special
05:09
heavy lift operations
05:16
[Music]
05:35
but the really challenging part of the
05:37
project is to live the fully assembled
05:40
turbine on to the floating sub structure
05:42
[Music]
05:44
[Applause]
05:46
[Laughter]
05:52
[Applause]
06:00
not after
06:05
[Music]
06:21
over the next days all the five turbines
06:24
were mated and the preparation for sale
06:26
away could start
06:31
and mid-july the very first turbine was
06:34
ready to be towed to Scotland
06:39
it's very exciting to be a part of a
06:41
project like this where we have a very
06:43
new technology the first in the world
06:47
actually when it comes to the first
06:49
floating wind farm ever and of course
06:52
the heavy lifts were the first time the
06:54
main thing is the first time so of
06:56
course it is very exciting to be part of
06:58
it
06:58
when all five turbines has arrived the
07:01
Scottish itself we will collect them
07:03
together into a grid complete them do
07:06
all testing necessary and we will have a
07:09
handover to operations this year
07:16
in August all the five turbines were in
07:19
place at buckin deep off Peterhead
07:26
well right now we are on this turbine
07:29
air aegis-1 which was the last turbine
07:32
to arrive from student two days ago well
07:36
to be an Operations Manager for the Ivan
07:38
discuss the pilot project is is just
07:41
amazing and we are working with with
07:43
groundbreaking technology a huge
07:46
offshore structures and I think it's
07:49
safe to say that started together with
07:51
its contractors are I really pushing the
07:53
borders of offshore wind technology err
07:55
[Music]
07:59
well this is a pilot part with five
08:02
turbines the next step is of course to
08:04
to go bigger and into new areas and it
08:09
is also well worth pointing out that we
08:11
have a technology qualification program
08:13
which is very important part of its
08:15
culture which would be the research data
08:18
into future projects
08:19
[Music]
08:22
we have been able to cut the cost by 60%
08:25
per megawatt from the hive in demo to
08:28
the hybrid scrotum pilot clock we will
08:30
need subsidies for a while but as the
08:32
cost of energy has dropped for bottle
08:35
fix wind turbines there are no reason
08:37
why this should not be the same for
08:39
short in winter but I'm very proud and
08:42
happy for a job well done
08:44
with excellent ATC results and now
08:46
serious incidents we have faced many
08:49
challenges through the project's
08:51
execution which has been solved with the
08:53
contractors or partner master and the
08:55
Scottish Government's
