It will be powered by four Caterpillar 3512E EPA Tier 4 generators, each offering a power rating of 1,700 ekW, which are configured for variable speed operation. In addition, it will have a GE Power Conversion electrical system and the latest generation of Voith Schneider propellers, with integrated permanent magnet motors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The construction of this vessel will mean hundreds of new jobs for American workers as we continue to bring the benefits of offshore wind energy to communities across the country,&#8221; said Joe Nolan, CEO and President of Eversource Energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Orsted company, the new ship will incorporate zero-carbon technology and will have high efficiency, low energy consumption and minimal greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once operational, the Eco Edison will provide operational support to Orsted and Eversource&#8217;s offshore wind units, including South Fork Wind, Revolution Wind and Sunrise Wind, which will generate 1.8 GW of power, enough to supply more than one million homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source Actualidad RT in Spanish<\/strong> : https:\/\/actualidad.rt.com\/actualidad\/422892-construccion-primer-buque-servicio-parque-eolico-marino-eeuu<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Photo<\/strong> : \u00d8rsted<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Dr. Franyi Sarmiento, Ph.D., Inspenet, March 11, 2022.<br \/>\nConstruction of the first offshore wind farm servicing vessel, named Eco Edison, has begun in the US. and is expected to be completed by 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":838,"featured_media":26882,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13026,13046],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-67430","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-energy","categoria_noticias-wind-energy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/67430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/838"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/67430\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=67430"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=67430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
