Baltic Sea - The tests should be carried out prior to commissioning of the turbines, which are scheduled to start operation in 2023 in the Baltic Sea.

Renews.biz has announced that TUV Rheinland has won a major contract to test offshore wind turbines from Danish manufacturer Vestas. Under the contract, the company's experts will test lifts, cranes, pressure vessels and safety-related components of 27 of the company's wind turbines.

The tests should be carried out prior to commissioning of the turbines, which are scheduled to start operation in 2023 in the Baltic Sea as the Arcadis Ost 1 wind farm with an installed capacity of 257 MW. TUV Rheinland developed an innovative concept for the contract. The aim was to cover all inspection requirements while reducing costs and risks.

"Offshore wind makes a significant contribution to the shift toward renewable energies. With our comprehensive testing expertise, we are helping to ensure that the wind energy industry can meet these expectations and achieve its ambitious growth targets safely and reliably," said Lars Mitzka, Team Leader Offshore Wind at TUV Rheinland.
