Offshore Wind - Blade Access System and working Environment (BASE) Project

叶片接入系统和工作环境(BASE)项目将减少与叶片维护相关的涡轮机停机时间，并提高叶片维修和性能升级的质量，从而将海上风能的水平能源成本(LCOE)降低0.6%。项目合作伙伴-Span Access、Turner Access、Turner Iceni、Offshore Renewable Energy(ORE)Catapult、Dundee University和Robert Gordon University-将开发和展示一项创新技术，该技术可以改善叶片技术人员安全高效地获取风力涡轮机叶片的途径，并为进行维护创造更稳定的工作环境，从而促进更高质量的叶片维修。SPAN Access将领导该项目，并将与合作伙伴合作，优化他们的专利TechniSpan技术，以应对海上风力涡轮机叶片接入的挑战。将开发一个原型基础机组，并在位于法夫莱文茅斯的ORE CALAPPOLS 7兆瓦示范海上风力涡轮机上进行演示。这将极好地说明在海上资产上高空工作的挑战，这些资产的叶片直径通常为50-100米，海拔90米。

"The Blade Access System and working Environment (BASE) project will contribute to a 0.6% reduction in the Levelised Cost of Energy (LCoE) from offshore wind by reducing turbine downtime associated with blade maintenance and improving the quality of blade repairs and performance upgrades. The project partners - Span Access, Turner Access, Turner ICENI, Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult, Dundee University and Robert Gordon University -- will develop and demonstrate an innovative technology which improves safe and efficient access to wind turbine blades for blade technicians, and creates a more stable working environment for undertaking maintenance which in turn will facilitate a better quality of blade repair. Span Access will lead the project and will collaborate with the partners to optimise their patented TechniSpan technology for the challenge of offshore wind turbine blade access.A prototype BASE unit will be developed and be demonstrated at ORE Catapults 7MW demonstration offshore wind turbine in Levenmouth, Fife. This will be an excellent illustrate of the challenges of working at height on offshore assets where blades which are typically from 50 -- 100m in diameter and 90 metres above the sea."
