Title: C/SOV E (Electrical Service Operation Vessel)
By Mark Couwenberg – Design and Proposal Engineer, Damen Shipyards
This presentation outlines the innovative Damen-developed offshore wind vessel that can remain in wind farms for extended periods by utilizing the abundant clean energy available, thereby reducing emissions to virtually zero. This new class of offshore wind vessels is based on the proven design of Damen’s Service Operation Vessel (SOV) and has been named the SOV E.
The premise that underlies the SOV E as an emissions-free vessel is that it will recharge its batteries at least once a day from turbines and substations. This is feasible due to the nature of their operational profile, which is based on deploying technicians to the wind turbines and then loitering nearby until it is time to retrieve them.
For the wind farm operators, having zero emission wind farms not only offers cost savings as the penalties for emitting carbon dioxide start to take effect, it also helps fulfil their promise of delivering 100% clean energy.
