Stillstrom unveils new standalone monopile-based offshore charging tech
Stillstrom, part of A.P. Moller – Maersk, has introduced two new standalone offshore charging solutions aimed at supporting vessel electrification in offshore wind operations.
The new systems, Power Hub and Power Tower, are designed as monopile-based structures that can be deployed independently of wind turbine infrastructure. The solutions are intended to provide flexible offshore charging options for both existing and future wind farms.
According to the company, the systems address the challenge of providing reliable electric power for vessels operating at sea, as offshore wind projects increase in size and move further from shore.
“Our two new monopile systems help to address the sector’s long-standing ‘chicken and egg’ challenge, where vessel electrification and infrastructure deployment must progress in step”, said Stillstrom’s Detailed Engineering Manager, Koen Legrand.
The Power Hub is a compact structure designed for installation within operational wind farms, enabling charging capabilities to be added to existing assets. The Power Tower is intended for new-build projects and is designed to be installed using standard foundation installation methods, similar to turbine foundations.
