Recently, the Norwegian scientists developed new technologies that can be the world’s first floating wind turbine on the sea.

Compared with the land, at sea, more sustained winds stronger, but also a broad space. There are no crowded sea of construction, nor the endless mountains, the wind in the sea there will be no blocking. Prior to this, many countries have a number of the sea wind power plant construction. However, the more wind resources are not at the seaside, but in the vast sea, to the sea when the wind force has been reduced a lot. However, to make use of the sea on the wind resources of these is not easy, because there is no foundation to build wind turbines.

Norwegian offshore oil company commissioned by the Norwegian Research Center for wind energy technology scientists to study the use of wind energy at sea, the project total investment of SEK 400 million. The project’s technical lead约翰奥拉夫overall responsibility for dozens of researchers after several years of struggle and development that can be floating in the sea of the generator pillars, and built one in the near future. Wind generators that have a image called the “sea breeze (Hywind)”, Taiwan is the world’s first floating wind turbine.

“Sea breeze” generator built in Stavanger, Norway, the sea areas and, more recently, there were many day visitors to the tourist here, the main style is to appreciate the floating wind turbine construction process. The generators and land-based wind turbines used in roughly the same material; difference is that its part of the sea be installed under the more than 100 meters in one of the buoys, and fixed in 3 cable under the sea 120 meters to 700 meters deep so that it moved the wind and waves, the wind power generation.

“Sea breeze” to generating 2.3 megawatts of power, the blade diameter of 80 meters, which is equivalent to the length of a standard football field. Generator cabin about 65 meters above sea level, floating-type power generating equipment installed in the buoys. The construction of it, not end on land to install the assembly into the sea, but the cable car through the ship at sea a little bit of structures assembled and adjusted in accordance with the actual situation in a timely manner.

Design “sea breeze” key generator technology is to try to light a number of leaf parts in order to maintain relatively stable at sea and improve the generation capacity. Of course, the generators are going to leave the “chassis” strong enough to withstand the sea from time to time in the violent storm and the monstrous waves. In addition, the original land-based generators in the upper part of the chassis is now down to the chassis, which is technically more difficult.

If the current into the “sea breeze” generators in the future generation of experimental process can be successful, the Norwegian oil company will be at a later time more of the floating completion of generators, the formation of a huge power station at sea. The company’s recent plan is 10 years after the construction of a 200 Taiwan “sea breeze” wind power generators large sea base, each year nearly 40 billion kwh electricity generation, which is equivalent to 200,000 families of Norway’s electricity consumption.

Floating wind power generation technology not only to take full advantage of offshore wind resources and, more importantly, for the growing number of maritime activities in the provision of energy. Military radar, the maritime industry, fisheries and tourism will benefit from it. Floating wind farms will eventually be built on North America, Peninsula, Iraq, Norway, the United Kingdom coast. Floating wind farms in many countries will provide additional energy, especially those who do not have redundant local wind field placement, or do not have enough land-based wind resource areas.

If after the world’s oceans on the distribution of the various regions of some floating wind turbines, ocean-going vessels, deep-sea long-range submarines, such as long-range scientific research ship at sea can obtain power directly, without having to find a port to add energy, these vessels or submarines can also reduce the energy load. In addition, the development of undersea oil and mineral resources of the project team will also be fully offshore wind power stations. With energy security, a number of ocean tourism projects can be developed together. In short, the sea wind power generation suspension technology will wind generators provide a strong human development of marine energy in support of
