Ampelmann signs 13 new contracts in European offshore wind


The offshore wind industry continues to grow in 2021, and so does the need for safe offshore access. A sign of the times is that Ampelmann, a specialist in offshore access, has signed 13


contracts in European offshore wind in the first half of 2021. The company’s products enable the installation and maintenance of wind farms by providing motion compensated gangway


solutions for both personnel and cargo transfer. For all 13 projects, Ampelmann relies on its A-type and E1000 systems, both with a fine track record in the industry. Two of the projects will make use of the company’s A-hoist add-on, a recent innovation that enables its flagship system, the A-type, to lift and transfer cargo up to 240kg in a safe and efficient manner. This is particularly important in operations where tools and parts need to be brought to and from the offshore platform.


For larger cargo operations, Ampelmann is using the E1000, which can transfer loads up to 1 tonne and fully compensate for the motions of the vessel in high sea states.


The A-type and E1000 systems are supporting the installation of several new windfarms, among which the Hornsea Two, Moray East and Hollandse Kust.


Data from ‘Ampelmann Insights’, a data-driven platform that gives clients a detailed look into their day-to-day operations, including the number of transfers they’ve completed, the performance of the system, and a workability forecast based on sea and weather conditions, Ampelmann has enabled the transfer of more than 22 000 personnel and close to 1.5 million kg of cargo in these 13 new projects to date.


Hamon cooling tower selected for Tauhara geothermal


The Hamon Group has been selected by Fuji Electric Co to supply its FRP induced draft cooling tower for the Tauhara Geothermal Power Project in New Zealand.


The project is located near Lake Taupo, in the centre of New Zealand’s North Island, about 280 km south of Auckland.


Geothermal energy plays an essential part


in New Zealand’s generation mix and in the transition away from fossil fuels. With more than 1000 MW of active geothermal power generation, New Zealand is already one of the top geothermal power producing countries worldwide. The planned output of the plant is 152 MW with an expected completion of the largest single power unit in 2023.


Greenbyte adds meteo*swift’s wind forecaster to its Marketplace


Greenbyte, a prominent software partner for global renewable portfolios, has added meteo*swift’s Wind Power Forecast tool to Greenbyte Marketplace, an initiative that opens up performance data in order to accelerate software innovation for the renewable energy sector. The forecast tool enables users to receive intraday, day-ahead and up to 14-day ahead production forecasts enabled by artificial intelligence. Greenbyte acknowledges how crucial the


role of the power forecaster is becoming for the value chain within the RE sector, and how this can prove a challenge for its users. Adding meteo*swift’s Wind Power Forecasting service is intended to help meet this challenge. The add-on will use AI to process large quantities of data from weather models, satellite imagery and power plants, which are then fed through AI algorithms to provide highly accurate wind power forecasts helping operators to


plan operations and maintenance with more confidence. Power traders will also be able to optimise their positions on the power market and reduce costs related to imbalances that arise owing to differences between announced and delivered production.


Meteo*swift was launched in 2015. Today it provides forecasts for hundreds of plants in over 15 countries. Partnering with Greenbyte is a key milestone in its scale-up strategy.
