RENEWABLE ENERGIES software packages with our colleagues from Recase almost daily ,” says Application Engineer Lukas Christ , describing the pioneering work . Recase is the company that designed and commissioned the Nezzy 2 electrical engineering system . Timo Kosnieczky is visibly taken with the two-headed monster . “ This is really pioneering work . And we are partners in genuine fundamental research . We are actively developing the programming of the control system in cooperation with Recase .”
And will all of this really hold together , even away from the quiet North German quarry lake and in dimensions ten times greater ? “ Of course ,” Sönke Siegfriedsen says with certainty . “ The system of floating work platforms is not new ; the oil production industry has been using this concept for a long time . And wind turbines have also been taught how to swim . But the special thing about our system here is the concept of the two towers .
This is the only way to ensure that the additional design work will pay off . Quite simply , the system can simply capture twice as much wind power .”
Nezzy 2 will face real wind and waves in October , which is when it is scheduled to move . Out of the lake , into the Bay of Greifswald , and out onto the Baltic Sea where it truly is windy . How will the floating double-headed creature perform in currents , strong winds , waves and sea swell ? If all the tests are successful , the whole world will be waiting for Nezzy – the construction of a large wind farm is planned off the coast of China . There , the sensational wind turbine generator will stretch its two hubs into the wind up to a height of 180 meters instead of just 18 . But China already has a lot of experience with scaly mythical creatures . So Nezzy 2 will be quite welcome . ( lo ) •
Because a foundation in the seabed is not needed , considerably more areas can be utilized for wind power . And the environmental impact is also significantly reduced
The successors of Nezzy 2 will be 180 meters tall
