Deep Offshore Wind: Opportunities for the Composites Industry - (PPT)

摘要

Deepwater wind largest US ocean energy resource. US behind - Europe Stimulus > $550M for offshore wind. DeepCwind Consortium won DOE ARRA competition. UMaine won $12.4 Million for offshore wind lab 1-8-10. Floating wind turbines placed 10+ miles offshore: Better winds, deployment logistics, public acceptance, close to US population centers; Technology, floating platform costs, maintenance?
