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
