Delmar Systems has been selected by Archer Wind to deliver the mooring scope for the TotalEnergies' 3MW Culzean Floating Wind Pilot Project (pictured).
The Culzean Floating Wind Pilot Project will feature a 3MW floating wind turbine positioned 2km west of the Culzean production complex in the UK central North Sea and scheduled to be fully operational by the end of 2025
Delmar Systems will provide the complete mooring systems for the floating wind turbine, which will moor the modular, light semi-submersible floater hull designed by Ocergy to the seabed.
This innovative floater design promises fast assembly and optimized costs, advancing the standards in floating wind technology, Delmar said.
Archer Wind, is collaborating with TotalEnergies and progressing with detailed engineering, fabrication, and assembly.
Leopoldo Bello, chief commercial officer at Delmar Systems, said: "We are honoured to be part of this pioneering project with TotalEnergies and Archer Wind.
"Our involvement in the Culzean Floating Wind Pilot Project underscores our commitment to supporting the advancement of floating wind technology and enhancing the integration of renewable energy sources."
The Culzean Floating Wind Pilot Project, selected in Crown Estate Scotland’s Innovation and Targeted Oil & Gas (INTOG) leasing round, aims to demonstrate the viability of hybrid power generation on offshore facilities and test a promising floater design for future floating offshore wind projects.
