Wind Energy – Innovation
WindSpider has received a grant from Innovation Norway to develop its aluminium lifting solution, control system, and simulator.
This crane system, designed for the installation and maintenance of onshore and offshore wind turbines, offers many game-changing benefits at a lower cost.
The project marks the start the construction of the first full-scale WindSpider unit, potentially one of the world’s tallest cranes.
The wind industry seeks new technologies to reduce costs and enable larger turbines on land and water. With record activity in global onshore and offshore wind, taller and heavier turbines, and supply chain bottlenecks, the introduction of solutions like WindSpider is timely.
Europe’s first commercial offshore floating wind projects highlight the need for an alternative to the costly, complex, and time-consuming process of towing turbines to port for repairs.
WindSpider can provide on-site repair capabilities, making it an ideal solution.
