SYSTEM FOR HIGH ENERGY DEMAND SERVICES IN AN OFFSHORE ENERGY GENERATION INSTALLATION

A system (10) comprises at least one generator (11) and a substation (13) for distributing generated electricity to an electrical network (17). A power carrying link (12) from the generators (11) to the substation (13) is also connected to at least one service module (18), that incorporates equipment for performing an power consuming service unrelated to operation of the wind turbine and network. The service may be a computing function and benefits from being located "behind-the-meter" where cheaper energy costs are possible. For example, electricity generated by the wind turbines can be routed directly to the module(s) for use. A wind turbine generator foundation or a standalone platform configured to receive a removeable service module is also described.
