Offshore wind power includes deep water areas that utilize floating wind turbines and inshore water areas such as fjords, lakes, and sheltered coastal areas, which utilize conventional fixed bottom wind turbine technologies. ...
In October 2017, Norwegian oil and gas operator Statoil brought online the world's first commercial-scale floating plant in Scottish waters. The 30 MW Hywind Scotland floating wind consists of five 6 MW Siemens direct drive turbines deployed in water depths of 95 to 120 meters. ...
GE launches 5.3 MW onshore wind turbine with efficiency, logistics gains GE Renewable Energy is to release a new 5.3 MW onshore wind turbine which includes improvements in energy output, installation, and maintenance efficiency compared with earlier models, the company announced September 24. Larger, higher efficiency ...
With their lightweight nacelles, Siemens Gamesa large direct drive wind turbines are particularly suited for floating foundations. The Hywind concept has already proven its effectiveness in 2009, when Statoil and Siemens Wind Power successfully installed a 2.3 MW Siemens Wind Power turbine at ...
The Hywind Scotland Pilot Park project, which is projected to be commissioned in 2017, will demonstrate advanced technical solutions on multiple floating wind turbines in a park located 25-30 km off the coast of northern Scotland. ...
The European Union’s push away from fossil fuels toward renewables, along with falling costs, has seen offshore wind thrive. And the sector is about to receive another boost, now that the focus on and investment in floating wind turbines is reaching fruition. ...
To compete on costs with fixed-bottom offshore wind and other renewables, the floating wind industry should industrialize the foundation in the same way it has manufactured and commoditized the turbines for onshore wind, according to Henrik Stiesdal, wind energy pioneer and former CTO of Siemens ...
In the same area, which has a high average wind velocity, researchers have been studying the idea of floating wind turbines. The project is now looking at combining wind turbines and wave power plants on the same vessel and using the electricity to create hydrogen gas – a way of storing ...

Key areas to focus on include floating wind, novel foundations and collecting offshore environmental measurements. ...
The Carbon Trust’s Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA) programme, a joint industry and government scheme, brings together nine offshore wind developers with over 72% (31GW) of the UK’s licensed capacity. ...
A Seattle company is being given the green light to develop plans to build the West Coast's first offshore wind energy farm - five floating turbines off Oregon's Coos Bay, federal and state officials said Wednesday. ...
The "solar sharing" concept, whereby crops are grown beneath raised solar panels, could revitalise agricultural production in the wake of the Fukushima disaster and earn additional profits from selling renewable energy to local utilities. Wind turbines could also eventually appear at the Renewable Energy Village, if planners can get additional funding beyond the ...
Japan, whose coast is mostly ringed by deep waters, is pioneering floating wind turbine construction, required for seabed depths greater than 50 meters (165 feet). ...
