DNV has initiated Phase 2 of its Joint Floating Substation Project ( JIP ), involving 19 leading industry companies, with the aim of increasing knowledge about the offshore wind energy sector.
The joint floating substation project
This project seeks to establish standards for offshore substations in the floating wind energy sector, addressing technological challenges such as high-voltage dynamic cables and electrical systems capable of supporting movements of floating structures.
Phase 2 will focus on components such as high voltage equipment and marine systems, updating the DNV-ST-0145 standard , the first in the world to apply to floating substations. This initiative, supported by companies such as TotalEnergies , Iberdrola and ABB , will allow floating wind technology to be scaled up, improving its viability and reducing risks in deep waters.
“ The update to DNV-ST-0145 to include floating substations will improve the scalability of floating wind technology and reduce associated risks ,” said Kim Sandgaard-Mørk, Executive Vice President, Renewable Energy Certification at DNV.
Kim Sandgaard-Mørk, Executive Vice President of Renewable Energy Certification at DNV, stressed that updating regulations is essential for the advancement of global renewable energy, helping to close technological and regulatory gaps. The expansion of this project reaffirms DNV’s commitment to the energy transition and the development of scalable and secure solutions.
