4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Wind power foundation installation"

How is a wind turbine foundation installed?

The foundation is installed just like an offshore wind turbine foundation. The topside is constructed and tested onshore before being transported to the site to be placed on the foundation. The cables themselves are also tested onshore for quality and performance before being installed onsite using a cable laying vessel.

What is a foundation in a wind turbine?

Foundations are the structures that support offshore wind turbines in the water. There are different types of foundations such as jackets, monopiles, and even floating versions. In Formosa 1, the turbines are installed on monopile foundations. For Greater Changhua 1 and 2a we adapt jacket foundations.

Why do offshore wind farms need foundation structures?

The intricate and ever-changing environment, geological conditions, wind turbine capacities, and resources for construction and installation at offshore wind farms necessitate a variety of foundation structures for wind turbines.

Which foundations are used for the offshore wind turbines?

In Formosa 1, the turbines are installed on monopile foundations. For Greater Changhua 1 and 2a we adapt jacket foundations. We will implement suction bucket jacket foundations in Greater Changhua 2b and 4. All components for the offshore wind turbines are brought out to sea in pieces to be assembled on site.
