  • Variable-Speed Engines on Wind Farm Support Vessels

This enables its diesel engines to operate at variable speeds by using frequency converter technology. A detailed investigation of these benefits has been performed based on real-life measurements from three months of operations in the Race Bank wind farm off the east coast of England. The calculated fuel savings of Edda Passat achieved via its variable-speed engines are 21% lower compared to using a conventional alternating current (AC) grid with a fixed frequency. This paper will explain the technology, measurements, and results in detail. Keywords: variable-speed engine; Edda Passat; wind farm support vessel; integrated DC grid; SAVe Cube; fuel reduction; performance verification; operational profile; data logging 1. Introduction The maritime industry are focusing more and more on power optimization, driven by a necessity to reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions [1–3]. New innovations like including energy storage or direct current (DC) power systems have found their way on board many vessels [4,5].

Since earlier installations had low power output (less than 1 MW) and low capacity factors (less than 30%), the farms offshore were significantly less impactful than their onshore counterparts. In the UK, however, increased government funding and support has paved the way for greater presence of offshore wind farms in their electric grid infrastructure. Now that the UK has become the leader in offshore wind energy, many sites in English and Scottish waters are being examined for their potential large-scale installations (up to 1000 MW of installed power) while current installations are considerably greater than even a decade prior.
