LIGHTS,  CAMERA,  ACTION ;  LIMPET®  STARS   IN    ITN   FILM  SHOoT AT   LEVENMOUTH   DEMONSTRATion  TURBINE

10/7/2016

30 Comments

 

The Limpet team was out in force on Tuesday and Wednesday this week, as part of a video shoot with ITN Productions on the Levenmouth Offshore Wind Demonstration Turbine in Fife. This mammoth wind turbine is now owned by the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult and is the world’s most advanced, open access offshore wind turbine dedicated to research.  

Certainly, as you cross the gangway that connects the turbine to land, you get a sense of the enormous scale of the engineering on this Samsung 7MW prototype. And the numbers back that up; blades with a diameter of 171 metres, a hub height of 112 metres, a nine metre high, three level nacelle that is 18 metres long.

We had agreed with ITN that they would make a short film about Limpet Technology as part of a video reel being developed with the World Petroleum Council, to showcase new innovations coming into the energy sector. Our goal was to demonstrate the applications where Limpet systems are currently being used by wind energy companies, particularly ladder access and blade repair.

​We also wanted to highlight a new Limpet product that is under development, which, through rapid heave compensated fall arrest and hoisting, can safely transfer technicians between crew transfer vessels and offshore wind turbines in much higher sea states than is achievable today. Increasing safety, access and availability of far offshore wind farms is the objective of this product.

The days filming went pretty much to plan; the sun shone periodically, but frustratingly, the wind was blowing a few miles an hour faster than was safe for us to film the rotor blade access shots. However, we made the best of the situation and managed to capture what we hope will be great footage. The Limpet that we installed onto the internal access ladder worked like a dream and the 90% climb assist made the very long ladder climb look and feel fantastically easy.  

Given the logistics it went very smoothly and we're now eagerly awaiting the results which will be with us in a couple of weeks. We'd like to give a big thank you to ORE Catapult for enabling us to use the turbine, which is an incredible demonstration facility; to SgurrEnergy, who's on-site team was a pleasure to work with and to RTS International, for providing their invaluable assistance in too many ways to count.

It was a pleasure for me also.

I think your product is a very useful tool to have in a turbine or for blade inspection.

My best!

One of the reasons I hate using the microphone on my camera while filming is because of how low quality the sound becomes when there is a strong wind. I suggest that you buy a separate microphone that can filter winds and other noises like people talking in the background. It is quite pricey but it can guarantee you a flawless and high quality audio for your video. Think of it like your investment because you will be able to use it for a long time. It will also make filming a lot better because you can film anywhere you want without having to worry if the camera's microphone will be able to record the noises in your surroundings.

Wind energy is a great way to gather energy from natural resources. It is commonly placed on shores or mountains because it is very windy there. However, there are also negative things about it. One of its negative effects is that it can kill a lot of birds because it is very huge and sometimes birds are not able to detect it on time. There are wind turbines near our place because we live near the beach and sometimes it is kind of noisy and I can't sleep through the night.
