Floating Wind Turbines

Main objective is to test the impact of wind and waves on the structure over a two-year period Initiatives ­ Blue H Dutch company Blue H Technologies has devised a `Submerged Deepwater Platform' (SDP) In 2008, the company installed a 75% scale prototype SDP with a small wind turbine in 113-metre deep water 20 km off the coast of Southern Italy After 6 monts at sea, the unit was decommisioned early on 2009 Target goal are units in water depths of 70-300 meters Initiatives - Others WindFloat HiPRwind WinFlo Vertiwind WindSea Sway Conclusion Shallow-water turbines cost between 2.4 and 3 million United States dollars per megawatt to install, according to the World Energy Council. The main reason to develop FWT is the possibility to harness wind energy far off the coast-line, which in return gives greater energy output and less visual/noise pollution. Beneficial to marine biota and fishing industry. The FWT is young and growing wind technology in the field of energy. Potential is
