Jan De Nul Group has completed the installation of all 21 offshore wind turbines for the 109.2 MW Taiwan Power Company Offshore Windfarm Phase 1 Project – Demonstration, including the installation of all subsea cables. The project teams of Jan De Nul and Hitachi will proceed with the termination and commissioning process to complete offshore wind farm.
Located near Fangyuan, 8 kilometers off the West coast of Taiwan, the TPC Offshore Wind Farm is constructed in a region where typhoons are very common. Each 5.2 MW wind turbine is installed on a jacket foundation with a transition piece, anchored to the seabed using four steel pin piles, and equipped with wind turbines with a downwind rotor.
Consortium partner Hitachi Ltd. pioneered this design by obtaining the Wind Turbine Class T certification, an international standard on wind-resistant design recognizing the need in regions subject to frequent typhoons.
The ‘Offshore Windfarm Phase 1 Project – Demonstration’ was awarded to the Consortium Jan De Nul – Hitachi in February 2018. Subsequently, the Consortium is responsible for the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the offshore wind farm over five years.
