INSTALLING FLOATING WIND - EPISODE 4: HOOK-UP OPERATION

More info: floatingwindinstallation.com
The different pieces of the puzzle are coming together in this final episode to complete the installation of the windfarm. The hook-up operation has had to face new challenges, which have been successfully overcome by the professional and committed installation team.
WindFloat Atlantic, the first floating offshore wind farm in continental Europe, with the total installed capacity of 25MW, is located in the north of Portugal, 20km off the coast of Viana do Castelo. Composed of 3 units, the windfarm will be able to generate enough energy to supply the equivalent of 60,000 users each year. The project features 8.4MW turbine of MHI Vestas, the largest turbines ever to be installed on a floating foundation.

Fantastic work !

[@TheIlJeep]

Wow! 25 MWt! 10 years ago nobody could believe! Same video: wind turbine doesn't work but eats energy from the grid. NICE

Wouldn't fancy being in the working party on top of the pontoon leg with a tow line under tension right behind you!

Impressive what our hard working Feminists are capable of ...🌬️💪🏻

Esas plataformas triples tengo entendido que se fabrica en España, concretamente en el ferrol( Galicia)

1) You definitely need to stop calling them floaters. This is a slang term in English for excrement that floats in the toilet. 2) You should show the unit working in high seas as this is the challenging bit. It would also be nice to know how the unit is anchored and how the electricity gets to the shore.

Being in oil and gas it is hard to get excited about these projects. There's not much to them, relatively speaking.

@@calicomadre7315 💯 agreed. Bird killing eco-crucifixes.

[@ted8831]

Maybe change jobs!!

[@OmmerSyssel]

@@carlitoab nonsense.. After ~6 month it's a profitable investment, and which Seagull will be exterminated by windparks? No bird populations has vanished ashore. All fairy tales 🐖💨

[@OmmerSyssel]

Except for massive amount of highly needed energy supplies? Denmark has 40% basic supply and peak 110%. Numbers growing.. 🌬️💰💰✌🏻

Yes understandable, none of the burning and polluting hydrocarbons that get you folks excited ...
