近日，能源服務公司Kent已獲得英國Morven海上風電項目的前端工程設計(pre-FEED)研究合同。該項目由BP和EnBW擁有。

作為ScotWind租賃輪次的一部分，該項目的2.9吉瓦(GW)項目將在65-75米的水中使用固定底部渦輪機。約860平方公里的租約位于阿伯丁海岸約2公里處

BP和EnBW對該項目的投資還將包括支持利斯港的重建，并在阿伯丁建立一個運營和維護基地。

預計為期六個月的預FEED研究將涉及工程設計工作，以支持關鍵決策，基礎類型，腐蝕防護概念以及運輸和安裝可行性。

為了交付這一范圍，Kent將與Ternan Energy合作，提供專業(yè)的巖土工程服務，補充其內部巖土工程能力。

Morven海上風電項目將在幫助實現(xiàn)蘇格蘭11GW的海上風電發(fā)電目標和英國到50年實現(xiàn)2030GW的目標方面發(fā)揮作用?？咸卣f，預計在項目的整個生命周期內，它還將在建筑和運營方面創(chuàng)造數(shù)千個就業(yè)機會。

Energy services firm Kent has secured a pre–Front End Engineering Design (pre-FEED) study contract for the Morven offshore wind project in the UK. The project is owned by BP and EnBW.

The 2.9 gigawatt (GW) project, awarded as part of the ScotWind leasing round, will use fixed-bottom turbines in 65-75 meters of water. The approximately 860km2 lease is located around 60km off the coast of Aberdeen

Investment into the project by BP and EnBW will also include supporting the regeneration of the Port of Leith and create an operations and maintenance base in Aberdeen.

The pre-FEED studies which are expected to last six months, will involve engineering design work that supports key decisions, foundation type, corrosion protection concepts as well as transportation and installation feasibility.

For delivery of this scope, Kent will work with Ternan Energy, to provide specialist Geotechnical services supplementing their in-house geotechnical capabilities.

The Morven offshore wind project will play a role in helping to achieve Scotland’s offshore wind generation target of 11GW and the UK’s 50GW target by 2030. It is also expected to create thousands of jobs in both construction and operations over the lifetime of the project, Kent said.
