Design Study and Economic Assessment of Multi-Unit Offshore Wind Energy Conversion Systems Application. Volume II. Apparatus Designs and Costs. Final Report

摘要

Parametric designs and companion cost functions are presented for each major component of an offshore wind energy conversion system (OWECS). These are (1) the support platforms, (2) the wind turbine generator (WTG) plants, and (3) the electrical energy collection and transmission system including (4) substations. A backup hydrogen energy delivery system for extremely remote or deep water sites was also evaluated. Costs are presented for fabricating, transporting, installing, operating, and maintaining each of these components. (ERA citation 05:013482)
