Offshore wind farm project Hollandse Kust Zuid (HKZ) 1-4, Vattenfall
Summer 2021
Mandate
Provide advanced aids to navigation and monitoring features for what will be the largest offshore wind farm off the Dutch coast in the North Sea, at the time of completion.
The solution
Supply of temporary aids to navigation for the wind farm. A mix of self-contained marine lanterns and skids featuring fog horns and visibility sensors will ensure safe navigation around the wind farm for the duration of its construction estimated at approximately two years.
All systems feature remote monitoring with alarms and status updates available to Vattenfall. Our remote monitoring solution will provide a satellite link to ensure real-time communication.
At the end, 100 temporary aids to navigation systems will be deployed for this major offshore wind farm project.
Impacts
- First subsidy-free offshore wind farm, located off the Dutch coast.
- 100 temporary aids to navigation systems produced for the wind farm.
- Electricity production equal to consumption of over 2 million Dutch households.
