DNV has concluded Part 1 of its joint trade undertaking (JIP) centered on establishing offshore substation requirements for the rising floating wind sector.
In line with DNV’s 2023 Power Transition Outlook (ETO), floating offshore wind capability is projected to exceed 260 GW by 2050.
Offshore substations play a vital position within the scaling of floating offshore wind, serving as hubs to attach a number of wind generators and transmit renewable power to markets.
With a concentrate on closing gaps in current know-how and requirements relevant to floating substations, the JIP might assist the wind trade meet its potential and contribute to the continuing evolution of the worldwide power system, DNV mentioned.
The JIP’s Part 1 main outcomes embrace affirming the feasibility of floating offshore substations (FOSS) and export cables, figuring out gaps requiring consideration, and highlighting the maturity of AC options in comparison with DC.
The undertaking additionally carried out a feasibility evaluation for generic floater varieties and dynamic export cable ideas.
Emphasizing a sturdy design course of for optimized built-in floating substations, DNV plans to include the JIP’s findings within the subsequent replace of DNV-ST-0145 for floating substations and of DNV-ST-0359 for dynamic cables, each scheduled for 2024, in keeping with DNV.

“Requirements are vital in rising industries as they encourage innovation and competitors whereas guaranteeing security and reliability. It has been very precious to work alongside 38 main corporations masking all scopes and disciplines on this undertaking, and we sit up for floating substations being built-in to DNV-ST-0145,” mentioned Claus Christensen, Senior Chief Specialist at Ørsted and JIP Chairman.
DNV is now initiating Part 2 of this JIP, the place Part 1 individuals and new individuals will likely be invited to hitch. Part 2 will construct on Part 1 delivered and enter obtained from the contributors.
The JIP’s final goal is to help the scaling of floating wind with an appropriate stage of technical, industrial, and HSE threat, by sturdy pointers, mentioned DNV.
