Vattenfall is Denmark’s largest producer of onshore wind power and has won tenders for several large offshore wind farms, including the Near Shore Wind Farm and Kriegers Flak, which will be Denmark’s largest offshore wind farm to date. Vattenfall required knowledge and expertise on the electrical package for offshore wind turbines to successfully complete these projects.
To complete the projects successfully, Vattenfall needed to find an engineering partner with the right skills to understand and supplement their organization and work flexibly with their employees. Additionally, they needed a partner who could provide information and calculations for the tender materials, documentation for electrical parts, and perform supplier screenings.
Vattenfall chose to work with DIS/CREADIS due to their expertise in electrical packages for offshore wind turbines and ability to supplement their organization with the right skills. DIS/CREADIS worked closely with Vattenfall’s Electrical Package Managers to provide information and calculations for cable dimensioning, cable length, electrical calculations, and switch gear ITT-documents. They also did supplier screenings, reviewed received quotations, and made documentation for electrical parts. DIS/CREADIS also contributed to time schedules and budget planning for the entire electrical package.
“We needed knowledge and expertise on the electrical package for offshore wind turbines, and it was important to us that the right skills were added to our organization. We chose DIS/CREADIS because they met our requirements and because they have an understanding of how our organization works. The DIS/CREADIS consultants have been working on the project equally to our own employees and we have experienced that the DIS/CREADIS consultants are flexible and experienced in becoming part of an organization that is not their own”, said Bo Svoldgaard, Head of Engineering at Vattenfall.
Going forward, DIS/CREADIS will continue to support and advise Vattenfall on the entire electrical package and the interface for the turbines at the new wind farm Kriegers Flak. DIS/CREADIS will also work closely together with Vattenfall on Horn’s Reef 3 and the Near Shore Wind Farm, providing knowledge of electrical design for the foundations, solutions for cables between the shore and the turbines, electrical installations, and advice for Vattenfall’s Electrical Package Managers.
