    This document provides information about floating windmills presented in a seminar. It discusses how floating windmills are an alternative energy source that can harness wind power in deep ocean waters. The technology was developed by the Norwegian company Hydro to create wind farms capable of producing 4 terawatt hours per year. Key benefits highlighted include tapping stronger offshore winds, lower visibility than traditional windmills, and potential to power offshore oil rigs. Costs and technical aspects of floating wind turbine designs are also summarized.

    Alternative Emergency
     Energy is a major factor in today’s society
     Alternative fuel and alternative energy resources are
    in great demand
     Most everyone in the world is looking for more
    energy-efficient ways to live
     Hybrid vehicles and other fuel-efficient technology is
    arising around the world
     The world has to change, this emergency that we are
    experiencing today should have been taken care of
    long before now.
     Now we have no choice but to develop new
    technology in very little time
    Background Information
     Developed by Hydro, a Norwegian offshore
    producer of oil and gas and the third largest
    aluminum supplier in the world.
     Hydro is a fortune 500 country that was
    founded in 1905, with 33,000 employees in 40
    countries
     Hydro has researched this plan for more many
    years, and the results look promising.
    Introduction to Floating Windmills
     An alternative energy resource that
    doesn’t require use of fossil fuel
     Size and structure:
     Windmills will reach 80 meters above the surface
     Rotors on the windmill will have a diameter of 90
    meters
     Windmills secured by cables that are connected to
    ocean’s floor
    Goals and Objectives

     To have large-scale offshore wind parks with up to 200


    turbines capable of producing up to 4 terawatt hours per
    year and delivering renewable electricity to both offshore
    and onshore activities
     To take advantage of wind resources where it blows the
    most – at sea.
     Help energy poor areas where there is little land space
    but great offshore wind conditions (United States)
     This kind of electricity will be enough to serve some
    200,000 average households.
    Current Windmills
     Offshore wind turbines are not new
     They typically stand on towers that are driven
    deep into the ocean floor
     This can only take place if the water is less than
    50 feet
     This means that the turbine is visible from land
     These new turbines will take advantage of
    stronger winds and will not be visible from land
     This can happen because of the flotation device
    and the anchor system
    Facts
     These new floating windmills are possibly one of the
    best alternative energy sources available.
     Also, these new floating windmills cost one-third of
    what the current offshore windmill costs.
     The windmills could be moved to different locations if
    the need arises.
     The electricity will be brought to land by large
    electrical cables.
     The energy could also be brought to offshore oil
    producers to power their needs
    Spar and TLP SML Simulation
    Models
    Floating Wind Farms vs. Oil & Gas Reservoirs

     1 Barrel of Oil ~ 130 kg ~ 1.5 MWh of Energy (~ 12 kWh / kg)

     1 MW of Rated Wind Turbine Power @ 40% Capacity Factor ~ 9.6 MWh / Day ~
    6.4 Barrels of Oil / Day

     Conversion Efficiency of Oil & Gas Engines / Turbines, Wind Turbines ~ 40-50%

     1 GW Wind Farm (30 year life) ~ 70 M Barrel Oil Field ~ 6,400 Barrels / Day

     Breakeven Cost of Wind Turbines $3M / Rated MW = $3 B / Rated GW

     Equivalent Cost per Barrel of Oil ~ $43 / Barrel

     Investment Risk in Oil & Gas: Exploration Costs & Volatility of Oil & Gas Prices

     Investment Risk in Wind: Volatility of Wind Speed & Electricity Prices


    Advantages:
     Wind a Rapidly Growing, Free, Inexhaustible,
    Environmentally Friendly, Utility Scale and Cost Effective
    Energy Source

     Vast Offshore Wind Resources with Higher and Steadier


    Wind Speeds in Deeper Waters

     Over 75% of Worldwide Power Demand From Coastal


    Areas

     Wind Power Output Increases with Cube of Wind Speed

     Lower Offshore Wind Turbulence – Longer Farm Life ~ 25-


    30 Years

     Connection to Electric Grid by Sub Sea AC or HVDC Cables

     Experience of Oil Industry Essential for the Development of


    Safe and Cost Effective Spar and TLP Wind Turbine Floaters

    Costs
     Hydro has invested some NOK 20 million
    (over 305,000 in US dollars) into the
    Hywind concept over the past three
    years.
     Further research and demonstration of
    the project will require more than
    another NOK 150 million (about 23
    million US dollars)

    mounted, near-shore wind towers; however, the average wind speeds far off-shore are typically
    higher so more energy can be produced and the cost of energy is actually reduced when
