Floating offshore wind, what is it and how does it work?
SpletSWAY hopes these data will validate its design for a 10-megawatt floating offshore wind turbine. The SWAY one-fifth scale prototype has a 13-meter (m) downwind rotor on a 29-m tower, with a large portion of the tower beneath the ocean surface. The tower and turbine are designed to swivel on a mooring according to wind direction. Splet01. jun. 2016 · In partnership with SWAY AS, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) installed scientific wind, wave, and motion measurement equipment on the 1/6.5th-scale prototype SWAY floating wind system to collect data to validate a FAST model of the SWAY design in an open-water condition. Splet08. mar. 2010 · In this manner the future customers of the floating Sway towers will have several options with regards to choice of turbine.
