Next generation offshore wind turbine monopile foundation installation drill.

LDD将开发下一代风力涡轮机安装钻井设备，以支持降低固定海上风电的平准化能源成本（LCOE）。海上风电开发商正计划建造更大、更强大的风力发电机，这就需要更大的钢单桩基础来支撑不断增加的设计载荷。LDD咨询了海上风电开发商，认为目前世界上的钻井能力，包括LDD自己设计和制造的钻井设备，不足以有效和经济地钻探这些新的更大的基础。LDD将利用其内部设计能力，结合市场领先的钻井经验和采用新的、适用的和互补的技术，开发一个钻井系统，以促进下一代海上风电场的安装。

LDD will develop the next generation of wind turbine installation drilling equipment supporting a reduction in the Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) for fixed offshore wind.Offshore Wind Developers are planning for bigger and more powerful wind turbine generators, requiring much larger steel monopile foundations to support increased design loads. LDD in consultation with Offshore Wind Developers has identified that the world's current drilling capacity, including LDD's own designed and built drilling equipment, is insufficient to drill these new larger foundations, efficiently and economically.LDD will use its in-house design capability, coupled with market leading drilling experience and adoption of new, applicable and complementary technologies, to develop a drilling system to facilitate the installation of the next generation of offshore Wind farm.
