Offshore Substation

Good morning,

Today I’d like to share another collection of images from a wind farm in the Netherlands.

Thanks,

Great Orton Wind Farm

Good morning,

Here are some images of an onshore wind farm.

Great Orton Wind Farm is a 6-turbine wind farm located in Wigton, near Carlisle.

These turbines are 45m high to the hub with a maximum height of 68.5m to the tip of the blades.

Thanks

Offshore wind turbines at sunrise.

Good morning,

Today is a short post, appreciating sunrises whilst on an offshore wind farm.

I love how the sky changes on a day to day making the images vastly different.

Thank you.

How tall are offshore wind turbines?

Good morning,

Have you ever wondered how tall the offshore turbines are?

Well the one in the video above, is a turbine on a UK wind farm.

These have a maximum height of up to 204m to the tip of the blade with a blade diameter of 164m.

Thanks

Wind farm substation

Good Morning,

Today I’d like to share some images of a substation that I have recently visited.

This is located in the Netherlands side of the North Sea.

I hope that you enjoyed this post,

Have a good week.

Thanks,

Fog creeping in.

Hello, here are some images of the fog slowly creeping in, over the windfarm.

The fog approaches like a soft whisper, gradually swallowing the horizon. The wind turbines, once clear and imposing, begin to fade into the mist, their outlines becoming ghostly silhouettes

The Edda Brint, SOV (service operations vessel) adjacent to our substation.

Housing 60 persons, the 60 PAX will be made up with the ships crew and technicians who are servicing the turbines.

The Wind Cat CTV (crew transfer vessel) This vessel is our daily transport to and from shore.

As the fog thickens, the turbines seem to float in mid-air, their blades slicing through the mist with a gentle, rhythmic motion. This ethereal scene creates a stark contrast between the solid structures and the ephemeral fog.

Have you captured the beauty of fog in your photography? Share your images and comments over on Instagram @lee_ramsden

A ship with legs.

Good morning.

Images of the Wind Orca with a walk to work bridge.

The Wind Orca vessel provides a safe, efficient, and reliable solution for the installation, maintenance, and decommissioning of wind farm projects. Their advanced specifications set the industry benchmark for vessel transit speed, lifting capability, DP station keeping and jacking speed, offering a significantly improved operating weather window. They are fitted with high-quality equipment, supported by advanced preventative maintenance systems, and incorporate a significant level of operating redundancy. Safety is enhanced through a 6-leg design that allows them to operate even on sites with the most challenging seabed conditions.

Let me know what you think of these recent posts I love to hear from you on Instagram @lee_ramsden

Thanks
