MJR Power and Automation has announced the successful harbour trials of its platform mounted automated offshore power and charging system, which could charge vessels from offshore wind farms.
The harbour trials have been successfully carried out at the Port of Blyth – the UK’s premier offshore wind energy support base – using the TIA Elizabeth Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV) owned and operated by Tidal Transit.
The set-up at the port replicated the installation of the offshore power and charging system on an offshore wind turbine and/or substation validating the safe connection, mooring, and charging of the battery bank installed on the CTV.
