- Our offshore floating wind farms are less expensive per KW than conventional onshore wind farms. They cost less than $1m/MW.
• An offshore farm can have an onboard water/oil cooled substation. This allows for daily maintenance and lower costs.
• Offshore machines can be assembled in protected water and towed to their locations at 10-15 knots.
• A 175MW wind farm can have one common support structure.
• The 12.5MW machines require no individual yaw mechanisms because the entire support structure weathervanes into the wind.
• Provides an “out of sight, out of mind” power system capable of anchoring in deep water. No underwater work is necessary.
• This system stores compressed and liquid air in its support structure.
• Support structure creates calm water for berthing up to four LNG class tankers simultaneously so that liquid air may be transported to re-gasing facilities onshore.
