Hywind Scotland
Hywind Scotland is the world's first commercial wind farm using floating wind turbines, situated off Peterhead, Scotland. The farm has five 6 MW Siemens direct-drive turbines on ''Hywind'' floating monopiles, with a total capacity of 30 MW. It is operated by Hywind (Scotland) Limited, a joint venture of Equinor (75%) and Masdar (25%). Equinor (then: Statoil) launched the world's first operational deep-water floating large-capacity wind turbine in 2009, the 2.3 MW Hywind, which cost 400 million Norwegian krone, NOK (US$71 million, $31/W). The tall tower with a 2.3 MW Siemens turbine was towed from the Åmøy fjord and offshore into the North Sea in deep water, off of Stavanger, Norway on 9 June 2009 for a two-year test run, but remains working at the site while surviving wind speed and 19 m waves. In 2015, the company received permission to install the wind farm in Scotland, in an attempt at reducing the cost relative to the original Hywind, in accordance wi ...

Project Commissioning
Project commissioning is the process of ensuring that all systems and components of a building or industrial plant are designed, installed, tested, operated, and maintained according to the owner's or final client's operational requirements. A commissioning process may be applied not only to new projects but also to existing units and systems subject to expansion, renovation or Maintenance, repair, and operations, revamping. In practice, the commissioning process is the integrated application of a set of engineering techniques and procedures to check, inspect and test every operational component of the project: from individual functions (such as measuring instrument, instruments and equipment) up to complex amalgamations (such as Modular design, modules, subsystems and systems). Commissioning activities in the broader sense applicable to all phases of the project from the basic and detailed design, procurement, construction and manufacturing, assembly until the final handover o ...
