Citymesh • Straightforward: offshore connectivity for Neart na Gaoithe
The Neart na Gaoithe wind farm, located 20 km from the Scottish mainland, spans 105 km² and includes 54 wind turbines. It is an ambitious project, aptly named “the power of the wind” in Scottish Gaelic. HSM Offshore, managing part of the project, relied on Citymesh for temporary connectivity on two Offshore High Voltage Sub-Stations (OHVSs).
Our task was clear: deliver connectivity until a submarine fiber optic cable is installed. Providing a stable connection in the open sea was challenging, with no nearby antennas or masts. Neart na Gaoithe presented unique demands, as Citymesh usually provides connectivity for ships, but this project involved OHVSs instead.
An OHVS plays a key role in a wind farm. It manages the high-voltage components, converting and transporting power from the turbines to the land-based grid. Citymesh provided temporary connectivity to the first OHVS in late 2022 and continues to support the second OHVS in 2023.
Our solution ensured smooth, bidirectional communication between the OHVSs and land-based teams. This included sending data from OHVS sensors monitoring heating, air conditioning, electrical systems, and machinery. The shore teams stayed informed about the wind farm’s performance.
We also provided essential communication tools for the OHVS staff. Citymesh’ VoIP system enabled the team to stay connected with loved ones, using apps like WhatsApp, Skype, and even Netflix for entertainment. This support kept the staff connected and comfortable during long offshore stays.
