WTS-5. Offshore Wind Turbine System

摘要

The main undertakings of the project have been to design a steel jacket to be used as support for offshore wind turbines of 5 MW and to optimize the turbine. Furthermore to obtain a general arrangement of the system and to outline the methods for building and installation. The cost for design building and installation of wind power plants of 1, 3, 10 and 100 offshore wind turbines has been estimated as well as the cost for inspection, maintenance and repair. The design life of the steel structure has been set at 30 years. It is suitable for depths between 10 to 40 metres. Average cost per unit at a single unit will be 94 MSEK and 58 MSEK at 100 units based on price level July 1984. The yearly operation and maintenance cost for 60 units is estimated at 14 MSEK, excluding spares. (ERA citation 10:048446)
