In what has been described as a 'world's first,' electron-beam-welding has partially been used to assemble an offshore wind turbine.
has announced a revolutionary offshore wind turbine fabrication method using electron-beam-welding. In what has been termed a "world first," the new welding technique could make the assembly of such wind turbines significantly quicker, cheaper, cleaner, and more energy efficient. They also exhibit high-quality welds with excellent fatigue properties.
“This is a ‘first-in-class’ project, establishing this UK innovation as a world-leading technology. With monopile-type foundations accounting for over 90% of foundations used in UK projects, Ebflow RPEB could realize significant cost savings on future projects," said Olly Cass, SSE Renewables Project Director for Dogger Bank Wind Farm.“These substantial savings will not only benefit the UK offshore engineering industry but could be passed on to UK energy consumers," he added.
