HUISMAN PRODUCT BROCHURE WIND TURBINE SHUTTLE

ABOUT HUISMAN We are Huisman. We design and manufacture heavy construction equipment for the world’s leading companies in the renewable energy, oil and gas, civil, naval and entertainment markets. Our products range from Cranes, Pipelay Equipment, Drilling Equipment and Winches, to Vessel Designs and Specials. The history of Huisman is one of setting new industry standards. Of making impact, since 1929. With step changing technical solutions that vary from stand-alone to highly engineered integrated systems. From concept to installation and lifetime support. In these times of transition,...

VESSEL GENERAL To improve the efficiency of offshore wind turbine installation, The vessel is especially dedicated for installing wind turbines Huisman developed the Wind Turbine Shuttle: a dynamically offshore. Fully assembled wind turbines delivered to the positioned, fast sailing (15 knots) SWATH - Small Waterplane WIND TURBINE SHUTTLE ADVANTAGES installation site minimising the time of construction works THE MAIN CAPABILITIES OF THE NEW VESSEL Area Twin Hull - type construction vessel that can carry and ¡ Commissioning and testing onshore ¡ Installation of complete wind turbines (highly...

INSTALLATION SCENARIOS Minimisation of offshore work is achieved by transporting The Wind Turbine Shuttle requires an efficient shore base that the wind turbines as entirely tested units. All the testing and will be able to deliver and receive wind turbines to and from commissioning is done onshore. This requires a low number the shuttle. The shore base should be set-up to assemble of dedicated shore bases (e.g. Rotterdam, Denmark and wind turbines at a rate that matches the high installation rate Scotland). The vessel has an optimised hull form and significant of the Wind Turbine Shuttle....

HIGH WORKABILITY 06 HIGH TRANSIT SPEED AND EXCELLENT SEAKEEPING Traditionally, crane vessels and jack-up platforms are used The WTS is a SWATH-type vessel, which provides excellent for offshore construction works. Normally parts of the wind vessel motions and therefore a large workability. Since the unit turbines are loaded onto the vessel and then transported to is not jacked out of the water, the workability is not limited by Since the WTS can take only two wind turbines or two the wind farm site. The wind turbines are assembled from this operation. Also, no additional time is consumed by...

The vessel will be equipped with diesel The high redundancy of the DP3 system is provided by the generator sets capable of running on arrangement of four diesel generators in four separated engine rooms. facilities are provided all operations of the Wind Turbine Shuttle can be The vessel is equipped with two large variable pitch performed using LNG fuel making the propellers to obtain a transit speed of 15 knots. Together entire installation campaign even more with the large variable pitch propellers, eight tunnel environmentally friendly. thrusters are used for dynamic positioning during...

VESSEL MOTION COMPENSATION SYSTEM MOTION COMPENSATION IN THE HOISTING SYSTEM Although the SWATH-type vessel provides excellent Huisman has used more than 30 years of experience in the seakeeping performance even more effort was put into application of active heave compensation systems on cranes further improvement of motions in waves. Active roll and and other lifting devices for the design of the Wind Turbine pitch compensation systems were developed. The system Shuttle. The wind turbine is held in place by a hoist frame. This uses a moving mass. For roll compensation a mass driven in...

BALLAST SYSTEM During installation, the load of the wind turbine is transferred Emergency release water ballast tanks have been incorporated The installation of the wind turbines and jacket foundations from the WTS to the wind turbine foundation. A constant draft, in the deckbox to allow the WTS to pick up the wind turbine requires large recesses in the deck box structure. The heel and trim level has to be maintained during installation. A under any emergency scenario during the installation where it requirement for high speed and rudder arrangement make the dedicated quick acting water...

MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, & DECOMMISSIONING 14 ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS The vessel also provides an excellent platform for offshore A shallow draft catamaran version of the Wind Turbine Shuttle construction works. The Wind Turbine Shuttle can be deployed can be used in the areas with shallow water depths. The installations will be carried out in mild weather conditions. Due to its capacity to transport two wind turbines at the Because the Wind Turbine Shuttle can transport complete for installation and removal of the top sides and foundations of same time, the vessel is perfectly suited for...

A scaled model has been built that simulates installation of a A proof of concept, built by a DAODA heavy industry. wind turbine on a monopile with all compensation systems The picture shows a simplified version of the WTS. Motion functional while the unit is moving as if it were at sea. compensation systems were left out. As a result, workability Installation Tower / Cranage Main hoist fwd Unit, DYNPOS-AUTRO for the North Sea would be unacceptable, but under the mild DNV 1A1 Wind Turbine Installation conditions as shown here, the vessel can operate.
