StatoilHydro  and Siemens plan to anchor the world\u2019s first floating wind turbine off the Norwegian coast, at 12 kilometers from land, this weekend. It flaunts a towering 65-meter trunk above water and a rotor with 80 meters diameter. The 2.3-megawatt turbine will rest itself on a waterlogged 100-meter buoy. Hence, in a way, it offers a straight antagonism to the static offshore turbines that are hinged to the ocean floor by three anchor piles.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nAs each innovation comes up with more investments, even here the case is almost analogous. Allowing it to deck the ocean\u2019s bosom, one can always be sure of better efficiency <a href=\"https:\/\/www.good.is\/post\/worlds-first-floating-turbine-heads-to-sea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">thanks<\/a> to the powerful winds that will keep it functioning always. Well, it\u2019s just a beginning and it\u2019ll catalyze similar developments indubitably; more and more wind power developers will follow the lead.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nWe think this will be a new icon, symbolizing our company&#8217;s technology, innovation and ability to look in new directions. It is opening up a whole new business area in the world.<\/p><div class=\"38520354a5201685ddf480eec688e1a7\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Says Anne Str\u00f8mmen Lycke, VP StatoilHydro<\/p>\n<p><strong>How it becomes operational:<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greendiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/marintek-hywind-test_P1KFI_11446.jpg\" alt=\"marintek hywind test\" title=\"marintek hywind test\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The developers, Norway\u2019s StatoilHydro and Siemens, took almost a year to bring about this next-gen wind technology. After testing a smaller scale model in a water tank at Marintek in Trondheim, the final artifact is geared up enough for the ensuing 400 million NOK, two-year research project. The Hywind concept gets required assistance from the techno-giants and thrives to broaden the horizons of wind energy within deep-water environments. There had been no dearth of collaborators. Siemens builds the windmill itself, Technip supplies the sub-surface expertise and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexans.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nexans <\/a> lays the sub sea cables. The floating structure consists of a steel jacket filled with ballast. In just five days, StatoilHydro was able to tow the 1,500-tonne structure from the Finnish port of Pori to the Gulf of Bothnia.  Now it\u2019s almost there in the field, 10 kilometers southwest of Karm\u00f8y.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the video to see it working:<\/p>\n<div class=\"contentImage\" title=\"\">[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GAyPpQ4gnjg&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1]<\/p>\n<div class=\"imgContent\"><b><\/b><span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"38520354a5201685ddf480eec688e1a7\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n          <p><a id=\"link-15\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\" id=\"img-15\" src=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n            <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n              if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"link-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('href',myObj.url);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"img-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('src','https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/uploads\/'+myObj.image);\r\n              }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/api\/Ads\/15\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        <style>\r\n        *{box-sizing:border-box}.top-container{display: grid;grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;}.column{float:left;width:100%;padding: 0 7.5px 15px 7.5px;}.row{margin:0 -5px}.row:after{content:\"\";display:table;clear:both}@media screen and (max-width: 600px){.top-container{display: block;grid-template-columns: unset;}.column{width:100%;display:block;margin-bottom:20px}}.card{text-align:center;}.card_image img{width:100%}.card_body{padding:15px}.card_title{font-size: 14px;line-height: 19px;text-decoration: none;text-align:left;color: #333;}.card-heading{text-align: left;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}\r\n        <\/style>\r\n        <div class=\"row todays-top\">\r\n            <h3 class=\"card-heading\"> Recent Articles: <\/h3><div class=\"top-container\" id=\"todays-top\">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n            var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText); \r\n            myObj.forEach(function(item) {\r\n            document.getElementById('todays-top').innerHTML += '<div class=\"column\"><div class=\"card\"><div class=\"card_image\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"'+item.image+'\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"card_body\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><h3 class=\"card_title\">'+item.title+'<\/h3><\/a><a href=\"'+item.url+'\">Read more<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>';\r\n            });\r\n            }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Drprem_blogs\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.videoWrapper{position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0}.videoWrapper iframe{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"videoWrapper\" id=\"video_7\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                document.getElementById(\"video_\"+myObj.id).innerHTML = myObj.embed_video_code;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            }\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            };\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Videos\/7\", true);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.send();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Generally sidelined as aesthetic repellents, the tale about the renewable energy generators is going to disappear forever as Norway gears up to herald a new era where wind turbines won\u2019t be eyesores anymore.
