developed a floating offshore wind power system that generates energy at a much more affordable rate than traditional wind turbines, thanks to efficiency gains built-in through clever engineering.Daniel Engelhart-Willoch, VP of Industry and Government Affairs at Wind Catching tells ushe main highlights are that we aim to dramatically slash costs for floating wind, and that we use about 20 percent of the ocean acreage for the same electricity generation as a single-turbine 15 MW floater.
lowering maintenance and operations costs through incorporating autonomous service systems and using simpler turbines." Secondly,"having shorter blades [allows] for higher-rated wind speed," and lets the firm"take advantage of the exponential growth in wind's power content with increasing wind speed." Lastly, it is achieved via"a modular system that allows for a much longer design life than what makes sense for single-turbine technology.
