Hywind Tampen is the world’s largest floating wind farm with 11 turbines in the North Sea. Equinor built the wind farm to generate power for its offshore operations and reduce its CO2 emissions. The company worked with system integrator Goodtech to develop a solution to monitor and control the entire wind farm’s operations from an onshore control room.
“A project of this scale has never been done before. When you have to innovate and execute on a project like this, you need reliable partners. Goodtech, Equinor and AVEVA have done it!”
—Robert Haugum, Senior Sales Manager, Goodtech
