RenewableUK has highlighted the cutting-edge technology being used in Vattenfall project in Aberdeen Bay . The 11-turbine site includes two 8.8 MW, 191 meters turbines, the most powerful of their kind in the world, while innovative suction bucket jacket foundation technology is being deployed commercially for the first time in Aberdeen waters. This means they can be installed swiftly and almost noiselessly, reducing the construction period significantly. It pumps water through upside-down steel buckets, sunk into the seabed to secure the turbines, and reduces construction times. Plus, the wind farm uses two kV cables, twice the usual capacity, to lower costs.
