2025 - TenneT – IJmuiden Ver Beta, 2 GW Offshore Wind Farm, Netherlands
Summary
As part of the offshore wind transmission network expansion, IJmuiden Ver Beta supports the Netherlands’ commitment to integrating large-scale wind energy into the power grid. The project involves advanced HVDC grid integration and offshore substations.
Challanges
Ensuring minimal transmission losses and high system availability over long-distance subsea HVDC connections. Addressing aging-related component failures in offshore conditions and optimizing long-term operational performance. Developing a data-driven reliability assessment framework to track and mitigate emerging risks over the asset lifecycle.
Solution
Implemented RAM analysis to assess the impact of critical failures on power availability and system efficiency.
Designed proactive maintenance frameworks using real-time diagnostics and performance trend analysis.
Integrated Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) principles to prioritize maintenance efforts on the most critical assets.
Facilitated SIL verification workshops, ensuring compliance with offshore safety standards.
