1. 16. Comparison of electricity production between semi-submersible and spar-buoy floating offshore wind turbines

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Nermina Saracevic; [2018]
   Keywords : floating offshore wind turbine; semi-submersible; spar-buoy; six degrees of freedom; platform-rotor interaction; ASHES;

   Abstract : The paper compares electricity production between the semi-submersible and the spar-buoy floating wind turbine systems under normal, stochastic and extreme wind conditions at Utsira Nord site located on the Norwegian continental shelf in the North Sea. The analysis of complex behavior of the floating wind turbine system and the fluid-structure interaction is performed in aero-servo-hydro-elastic code ASHES. READ MORE

3. 17. Opportunities and challenges for a floating offshore wind market in California

   University essay from KTH/Industriell Marknadsföring och Entreprenörskap

   Author : Pieter-Jan Vandenbrande; [2017]
   Keywords : Floating wind turbines; California; PESTEL analysis; market challenges and opportunities;

   Abstract : The offshore wind energy industry is a rapidly growing industry as solutions are becoming cost-competitive and there is an increasing need to limit greenhouse gas emissions. New floating offshore wind turbine designs now enable the access to previously inaccessible offshore wind resources. READ MORE

4. 18. Offshore Floating Platforms : Analysis of a solution for motion mitigation

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Alberto Rodriguez Marijuan; [2017]
   Keywords : Offshore Wind; floating platform; wave tank test; hydrodynamic pressure; structural; hydrodynamic load; heave plate.;

   Abstract : Recent events regarding energy policies throughout the globe and advances in technology are making offshore wind farms become a reality. Most offshore wind farms are still, however, built close to land masses, and need to be rigidly attached to the seabed in one way or another. READ MORE

5. 19. Optimal Placement of FloatingTwo-Turbine Foundations in Offshore Wind Farms

   University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

   Author : Lovisa Gelotte; Alexandra Lundevall Nilsson; [2017]
   Keywords : Wind Power; Floating; Two-Turbine Platform; Optimization; AEP; WFLO; Vindkraft; Flytande vindkraft; Tvåturbinsplattform; Optimering; Elproduktion;

   Abstract : This project is conducted in cooperation with Hexicon AB, which is a Swedish design and engineering company developing floating two-turbine platforms for offshore wind power.The study aims to investigate the optimal placement of Hexicon AB’s platforms in an offshore wind farm with respect to the Annual Energy Production (AEP).

6. 20. Economic Modelling of Floating Offshore Wind Power : Calculation of Levelized Cost of Energy

   University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Industriell ekonomi och organisation

   Author : Shayan Heidari; [2017]
   Keywords : Floating offshore wind; Levelized cost of energy; Financing; Cost structure; Funding structure; Weighted average capital cost; Capital expenditure; Economic model; Operating expenditure; funding; OPEX; CAPEX; LCOE; energy system; renewable energy; electricity;

   Abstract : Floating offshore wind power is a relatively new technology that enables wind turbines to float above the sea level, tied by anchors at the seabed. The purpose of this work is to develop an economic model for the technology in order to calculate the total cost of a planned wind farm. READ MORE
