Abstract |
ETI’s Strategy Manager Stuart Bradley presents “Offshore Wind - Floating Turbines” at the BIS Group Offshore Wind Operations and Maintenance Forum 2016. The slide set covers:- Introduction to ETI and ESME, ETI’s modelling tool integrating power, heat, transport and infrastructure providing national / regional system designs
- Energy System Scenarios
- Offshore Wind
- Water Depth
- Wind Resource and Water Depth Compared
- Offshore Wind Turbines
- What do we use for Offshore Wind today?
- Foundation Types
- Floating Wind
- Tension Leg Platform
- Engineering Design
- Cost Study - CAPEX
- LCoE Forecast
- Conclusions
- Offshore Wind has a significant role to play in the UK 2050 energy mix
- With a range of Fixed and Floating foundations, UK can optimise the offshorefleet LCoE
- Floating Wind has potential to deliver costs at less than £85/MWh from mid-2020s, and further significant cost reduction afterwards
- Further Work
- Demonstration at full-scale
- Geographical distribution and cost optimisation
- Establish cost of energy potential for other floating technologies
