The Baltic Hub project comprises the Baltic Eagle (BE) and Wikinger Süd (WKS) wind farms located in the German Sector of the Baltic Sea, within the German Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
The intention of grouping these sites into a single project is to benefit from synergies throughout development and operation.
VCE was awarded the contract for the design, manufacture and installation of 5 CMS (Condition Monitoring System) units, which will be installed mostly onshore and will be completed and commissioned offshore. The first installation trip was to the shipyard in Aviles (Spain).
This condition monitoring system monitors and analyzes wave height/direction, tower inclination, vibrations of the structure, structural stresses and material temperatures.
