More than 1 GW is monitored 24/7 at the Hai Long Offshore Wind Project
With the conclusion of a 5-year contract for the Hai Long Offshore Wind Project, one of Taiwan's largest offshore wind farm, DWT and its subsidiary OutSmart set a new milestone in the company's history in July 2025. The scope of the contract includes continuous system monitoring, fault management and grid operation monitoring. This makes DWT the largest independent service provider in Taiwan, which is regarded as a pioneer in the development of offshore wind energy in Asia. The Hai Long Project increases the system capacity monitored by OutSmart at its Control Center in Emden to almost five gigawatts.
The Hai Long Offshore Wind Project encompasses the offshore wind farms Hai Long 2 and 3. The Hai Long Project is equipped with 73 of the very powerful new Siemens Gamesa 14-222 turbines and has a total installed capacity of more than 1 GW, making it the largest offshore wind farm in Taiwan. It is also one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world.
Trusted offshore wind expertise for sustainable growth in Taiwan
The Hai Long Project was developed by the three shareholders Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (Japan), Northland Power Inc. (Canada), and Gentari International Renewables Pte., Ltd. (Malaysia). Tim Kittelhake, CEO and Director of the Hai Long Project, said: “We chose to cooperate with DWT and OutSmart because of their proven expertise in offshore wind operations and their strong track record of delivering reliable services. This partnership will help ensure the Hai Long Project is operated to the highest international standards while creating long-term value for Taiwan.”
High-performance 24/7 monitoring as a further focus in East Asia
DWT Taiwan ensures continuous monitoring of the wind turbines and the three substations. For the necessary further expansion of the Control Center in Taiwan, additional space and personnel capacity are currently being developed. In this, the company is supported by OutSmart's Operations Control Center in Emden, Germany, which has decades of experience in 24/7 first-level monitoring for large offshore wind farms. Hao-Wei Chiu, Country Manager DWT Taiwan, said: "The Hai Long Project is still under construction, so the scope of service provided by DWT will also grow steadily in line with the progress of construction and the increasing responsibility for the turbines. This means that we will not only be ideally positioned to provide field service in Taiwan. Together with the local team and support from Emden, we are also excellently positioned to fulfil the requirements of comprehensive system and grid monitoring all the way up to asset management.
Experience in managing large offshore wind farms is a good basis
"OutSmart has been responsible for 24/7 monitoring and marine coordination for the Gemini OWF in the North Sea since 2015. With a rated output of 600 MW, it is also an exceptionally large offshore wind farm in terms of output, area and yield volume," said Björn Hannemann, Business Development Lead at OutSmart. "The experience we have gained there in the areas of real-time monitoring, coordinating maintenance, and security issues using state-of-the-art digital platforms has helped us to take on corresponding tasks at Taiwan's largest OWF. Combining our services once again makes OutSmart and DWT a key partner in the efficient and safe operation of offshore wind farms around the world."
