A study reveals the expansion of renewable energy procurement in Brazil and shows how companies are taking advantage of opportunities to reduce expenses, ensure energy efficiency, and strengthen strategic environmental commitments.
The offshore construction company is currently working on a project with Siemens Energy to revolutionize the floating wind energy segment.
The two companies have entered into a joint development agreement for a high-voltage Plug and Power submarine hub dedicated to floating offshore wind energy.
The goal of the cooperation agreement is to combine Subsea7’s expertise in building offshore systems with Siemens Energy’s high performance in the international energy market.
The innovative technology will allow the connection of multiple wind turbines in a submarine hub, enabling more flexibility in the architecture and construction of floating offshore wind farms, the partners said.
With this increased flexibility, the maintenance of systems and even the production of floating offshore wind energy can be optimized on a large scale.
Additionally, it may help to reduce CAPEX and increase energy availability, providing even more benefits for the energy market.
Collaboration Between the Companies for the Construction of the New Submarine Hub Could Face Challenges in Floating Offshore Wind Energy Generation
Although it is one of the major bets for the energy market in the coming years, floating offshore wind energy still faces numerous technological hurdles to be solved.
Therefore, the partnership between Subsea7 and Siemens Energy could significantly contribute to overcoming the maintenance and energy availability barriers in production.
The companies stated that they believe collaboration is essential to face the challenges of the energy transition. Thus, they will work together to provide the industry with the next generation of products that will enable the exploration of the segment’s potential.
By 2030, around 14 GW of floating offshore wind energy will be installed in the global market, according to projections from TGS.
The commercial director of floating wind at GustoMSC, Barend Jenje, commented that this segment is the future of the energy market, “but we need to catch up, and catching up really needs to happen in the supply chain.”
The project for the new submarine hub by Subsea7 and Siemens Energy could mark a new revolution in the production of floating offshore wind energy.
