(News Bulletin 247) – ABB has secured a major order from one of China’s largest offshore shipbuilders, Yantai CIMC Raffles Offshore, to supply integrated propeller deck technology for the two new installation of wind turbines by Havfram Wind.
These vessels, which incorporate the latest battery-hybrid drivetrain technology, ‘will be among the most energy efficient in the offshore wind industry’, ABB said.
ABB’s scope includes four Azipod electric main propulsion units with a total propulsion power of 17 MW; the Onboard DC Grid electrical distribution system; a 4.1 MWh energy storage facility as well as a complete set of automation and digital technologies.
In service, vessels will be able to leverage the benefits of digital connection to the ABB Ability Collaborative Operations network for remote support and predictive maintenance.
“This order demonstrates the efficiency, safety and reliability benefits our propeller deck solution can bring to our customers in this demanding and growing market,” said Juha Koskela, President of ABB Marine & Ports.
