UTEC*, Acteon's Geo-services business line, has been awarded a contract by Ørsted Taiwan Limited for the design, engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning of measurement and associated data acquisition systems for the Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms. The wind farms, which are located 35 and 60 km off the Changhua coast of Taiwan, will have the capacity to generate 920 MW of power and are due to be completed by the end of 2025. 

The project-based systems integration and software development will be executed at the modern UTEC* Technology Centre in Wokingham, UK with installation to be carried out in construction yards in South Korea and Taiwan. 

Paul Smith, Executive Vice President, Geo-services business line says, “The Greater Changhua 2b and 4 contract represents another important step forward with the development of UTEC capabilities supporting the global offshore wind industry. These include campaigns to measure environmental, metocean, settlement, load and acceleration, corrosion, and anode efficiency. All our installations are built on the open framework NX2 digital platform which integrates synchronous data acquisition from sensor to desktop. This will further enable Acteon, to play a major role in supporting clients making a difference in the journey towards net zero.”
