Salamander project successfully concludes data monitoring at floating offshore wind site

News

Hugh Yendole, Project Director

Salamander, a joint venture between Ørsted, Simply Blue Group and Subsea7, has successfully retrieved floating LiDARs and wave buoy equipment as part of the metocean campaign for the proposed floating offshore wind farm project off the North East of Scotland.

The survey has run since October 2023 and will produce insights which will inform the project's design, operations, and maintenance strategy.

Two floating SEAWATCH® Wind Lidar Buoys and a Wavescan® buoy were deployed to gather essential meteorological, oceanographic, and environmental site data. These include wave height, wind and current speed and other region-specific metrics, enabling a comprehensive assessment of the site's characteristics and seasonal conditions.

Hugh Yendole, Project Director at Salamander said: “This is a key success in the delivery of our innovation project. As a stepping-stone development, Salamander will use pioneering floating offshore wind technologies to help Scotland and the UK progress towards a net-zero future. The data gathered through this survey will determine the most appropriate next steps for the development of the project.”

Salamander’s floating component will be located 35 km off the coast of Peterhead, Scotland, and will generate enough green energy to power 100,000 Scottish homes. It will also provide insight and best practices to future commercial scale developments in Scottish waters, ahead of the larger-scale ScotWind buildout.
