Södra Midsjöbankarna “Metmast” - MWP Mark II

E.ON Climate & renewables, Nordic AB plans to expand its offshore operations and in the next step to build a wind farm of about 200 units within the area of Södra Midsjöbanken in the Baltic Sea.

E.ON Climate & Renewables, Nordic AB has decided to use the MWP Mark II foundation at Södra Midsjöbankarna as a basis for a movable metmast.

The entire project has been operated within a spirit of partnering, meaningful transparence within all stages of the process.

	E.ON Climate & Renewables, Nordic AB: Client and end user
	Marcon Wind Power AB / SSE: Developer, designer and project management. “ We don’t promise what we intend to do. We say what we do and  do what we say.”
	American Bureau of Shipping - ABS: Classification Society

Assembly at shore - tow to site!

Stability calculations has been done according to ABS stability requirement. For the intact conditions, wind speed according to ABS is used and the maximum overturning moment is estimated to be 46188 kNm.

E.On Vind Sverige AB - Södra Midsjöbankarna

E.On Vind Sverige AB has decided to use the MWP Mark II foundation at Södra Midsjöbankarna
as a basis for a moveable metmast. 

This special configuration of our foundation provides several benefits to the project. 

Furthermore it can be used at a later occasion
during the production phase of the WPP

The Challenge – Carbon Trust - UK

The Carbon Trust launched an competition to find foundations that are:
• Technically fit for water depths of 30-60metres
• Will cut current life-cycle costs-from design and building through to operation and decommissioning by some 30%

Goal setting principles:
- Cost efficiency
- Ease of deployment
- Environmentally viable solutions

The Challenge - OWA Competition

The goal of the competition is to take the best new designs for offshore
wind turbine foundations from design through research and development
to deployment.

The Offshore Wind Accelerator programme itself is a wider collaboration
between the Carbon Trust and five of the leading international players in
offshore wind farms developing technology and process in Wake Effect
Modelling; Access Transportation UK round 3 Access, & Logistics; and Electrical Systems in
addition to Foundation Design.

For foundation design Carbon Trust are looking for the most innovative,
cost effective and robust turbine foundation designs for different deeper
offshore conditions.
