WindEnergy Hamburg 2014, the
highlight of the year, is behind
us. With 33,000 visitors and
1,250 exhibitors, the event has
broadly established itself as a
leading international trade fair.
We welcomed 24 delegations
from 22 countries.
We held a series of top-class
events as the Renewable Energy Hamburg Cluster. Including:
a panel discussion with Hamburg’s Senator for Economics
Frank Horch and Schleswig-Holstein’s Minister for Economics
Reinhard Meyer as well as three
CEOs from Nordex, Senvion and
Siemens Wind Power. Whether
and how the significance of the

HHLA enters crunch mode with Battery Electric Heavy-Load Vehicles

Battery charging when the

HHLA
This is where efforts are initially
concentrated in the BESIC project, which HHLA is working on
together with AGV manufacturer
Gottwald/Terex, Vattenfall and
three universities. The project
involves the development of a
battery management system
that determines suitable charging periods by exchanging data
with load forecast systems of
Vattenfall and the terminal control system of CTA. This means
that wind and solar energy can
be utilised where abundantly
available.

Terminal Operation (BESIC)
research project has been attempting to identify the optimal
point in time for battery charging from an operational and
ecological perspective since the
beginning of 2013. The project
is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs
and Energy.
The approx. twelve tonne batteries are exchanged in a changing
station in a fully automated process. As the AGVs are mobile for
around 17 hours on a single battery charge, yet the charging process takes just seven hours, the
time of charging can be selected
relatively freely without hindering operation.
In addition to practical feasibility, the project also focuses on
efficiency. This may also appeal
to companies that use batterypowered vehicles to transport
heavy loads in a clear circuit.
In recognition of the innovative
contribution to energy transition
expected of the BESIC project,
the German government awarded the project flagship status for
electromobility back in May 2013.

The “SuctionBucketJacket” prototype developed by DONG Energy
has been successfully installed in the North Sea. The innovative
foundation consists of a tripod jacket structure with three bucket
foundations that are sucked into the sea bed, anchoring the structure. The 57-m high foundation is particularly suitable for water
depths of 30 to 60 m. The installation of a 3.6 MW wind turbine is to
follow in October.
