Norwegian energy giant – the Norwegian State Petroleum Hydro Corporation (StatoilHydro) 9 月 8 announced the world’s first floating-type wind power station in Norway’s North Sea coast near the opening.
According to Hydro, the Norwegian State oil company, the wind turbine, called “Hywind”, 65 meters high, weighs 5,300 tons, is located in the southwest coast of Norway near the Kamo Yi Island (Karmoey) 10 km. Hywind generator set on a floating platform, raft through the three submarine cables and fixed, which in the water and rocks as ballast. Norwegian State Oil Hydro companies in the next two years Hywind generator test, and then seek international partners to build more of the floating wind power generator.
The company, Japan, Korea, California and the East Coast and Spain as a potential market, to bring this new technology exported to these areas. Hywind wind turbine can be used in water depths from 120 to 700 meters of the sea, and, compared to the current fixed wind turbines can also be placed farther offshore.
Norway’s national oil company Hydro Man Linke, said in an interview, floating wind power generator has a “lot of great advantage.” She said: “It is nearly invisible from the shore, the existence of other people can not put into place. We can use wind turbines in some countries, such as shore deep water, in particular countries, or no wind on the ground construction the engine room of the country. ”
Hywind generating capacity of wind turbines 2.3 MW, the total investment 400 million kroner (66 million U.S. dollars), far higher than the fixed wind turbines. Stroman Link said: “Our goal is to float the cost of wind power generator wind turbine down to a fixed level, which is currently installed in water depths of 60 meters.” France Dekenipu company (Technip) and Germany’s Siemens are involved in Hywind wind turbine project. Norway’s national oil company Hydro said, Hywind wind turbine is expected to start generating electricity within a few weeks.
