Ørsted has launched its new offshore installation technology platform, Osonic, after signing a preferred supplier agreement with German energy infrastructure asset manager Luxcara, marking the first commercial step for the company’s low-noise monopile installation method.
Osonic uses a jetting-based system that significantly cuts underwater noise during monopile installation, reducing sound levels to just above ambient noise in the German Bight while also enabling cost savings.
The technology was developed and matured by Ørsted over several years and was successfully deployed earlier this year at the Gode Wind 3 offshore wind farm in Germany.
Under the agreement, Osonic is intended for use on offshore turbine foundations across Luxcara’s German offshore wind portfolio, and Ørsted will license the technology while also acting as engineering, procurement and construction consultant for implementation.
“By reaching an agreement with Luxcara, we’re taking Osonic from concept to commercial offering, which demonstrates Ørsted’s strong track record of innovation as well as Osonic’s potential.
“As a leading developer of offshore wind, we’re proud to extend our technology services to third parties,” said Patrick Harnett, Executive Vice President and Chief Construction Officer at Ørsted.
