Key benefits for your organization

1.

Maximum safety

Our offshore gensets guarantee a reliable self-supply of power and provide the highest operational safety for offshore wind farms. Rely on robust technology and carefully designed container solutions, specifically developed to protect your equipment.

2.

Minimized downtime

With proven Cat quality, you keep your wind turbines operational at all times – even under the harshest conditions. This reduces downtime and maximizes the efficiency of your offshore wind farm.

3.

Gensets specially designed for offshore use

The use of onshore gensets can lead to issues and failures that significantly impact the operation and longevity of wind turbines. With our mobile offshore units, we offer our customers a tailored product specifically designed for offshore use.

4.

Low maintenance requirements

With durable components and a design specifically tailored for offshore use, the maintenance requirements of the gensets are significantly reduced, maximizing uptime and minimizing downtime.

Reliable self-supply of power for offshore wind energy installations

Reliable self-supply of power for offshore wind energy installations

Wind turbines require a self-power supply to ensure their operation. The power is needed for lighting, standstill heating, and the electrical adjustment of the blades, and cannot be generated by the wind turbine itself. Zeppelin Power Systems has developed mobile offshore gensets specifically designed for use in wind farms in the North and Baltic Seas.

Mobile offshore gensets in containers, available in various configurations

As an enclosure and for the safe transport of the power generator, Zeppelin Power Systems has developed a certified offshore container in which the gensets are elastically mounted. Available in either a compact 5-foot container version or a larger 10-foot container version, our customers can choose between these two options for offshore gensets. Each package also includes a high-performance exhaust silencer and a salt filter to control the environmental conditions inside the container.

The gensets are particularly robust, highly reliable, and therefore ideal for use in areas with high salt content in the surrounding air and generally harsh environmental conditions.

Comprehensive service package included

All components of the gensets are easily accessible and designed for simple maintenance. In addition to on-site service, the entire mobile offshore unit can be easily replaced with a pre-serviced unit. Zeppelin Power Systems provides corresponding logistical concepts for genset exchange and fuel supply.

Transparency and efficiency with our digital solutions

Transparency and efficiency with our digital solutions

Zeppelin Power Systems offers advanced digital solutions that enable enhanced monitoring, control, and optimization of systems and processes.

Through satellite connectivity, the gensets of wind farms can be monitored and controlled remotely. In addition to monitoring operating resources such as fuel and lubricants, you can also keep track of temperatures, voltages, and currents. The maintenance status of the gensets can also be analyzed remotely, helping to avoid costly service trips.

Use of engines and gensets in offshore wind farms

Offshore wind farms are complex infrastructures that require powerful and robust offshore gensets at various points to maintain power supply and ensure operation.

On service platforms or offshore maintenance bases, engines are used for different applications: diesel or gas-powered engines drive cranes needed for the construction and maintenance of wind turbines. Many of the mechanical devices for maintaining and repairing wind turbines use engines for hydraulic pumps and other mechanical systems. At offshore substations, which collect the generated energy from the wind turbines and feed it into the grid, gensets are used to ensure a stable power supply. These stations require a redundant power supply in case the main line fails. Some offshore wind farms use gensets and engines to generate power for platforms that are not directly connected to the land. These platforms need a reliable energy source, which they often supplement with diesel or gas generators in addition to the energy from the wind turbines.

Challenges and requirements for offshore drive systems

Offshore wind farms are exposed to extreme environmental conditions, including strong winds, saltwater, and high humidity. This leads to specific requirements for the drive systems used, which must be particularly robust and corrosion-resistant. Modern drive solutions for offshore wind farms provide protection against these external influences and are optimized for the challenging conditions at sea.

Choosing the right drive solution is crucial for the success of an offshore wind farm. It ensures not only stable and efficient operation but also reduces maintenance costs and environmental impact – a win-win situation for both operators and the environment.
