Book Synopsis Cost of Energy Modelling and Reduction Opportunities for Offshore Wind Turbines by : James Carroll
Download or read book Cost of Energy Modelling and Reduction Opportunities for Offshore Wind Turbines written by James Carroll and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cost of generating electricity from wind turbines, particularly offshore wind turbines is currently too high. To ensure offshore wind energy is truly competitive with traditional fossil fuel and nuclear energy generation, the true cost of offshore wind energy and ways of reducing that cost must be investigated. A number of wind turbine types, differentiated through their drive train configurations, currently exist. Different wind turbine manufacturers have different drive train configurations and some manufacturers have multiple configurations within their own portfolio of turbines. There is no clear evidence as to which wind turbine drive train type is best suited to offshore sites.One way of determining which turbine drive train type is best suited to an offshore wind farm is by investigating which turbine type offers the lowest cost of energy. This thesis provides a detailed analysis of the cost of energy for different offshore wind turbine types and investigates ways in which that cost of energy can be reduced. The highest level research question amongst all of the research questions answered in this work is: "What is the overall cost of energy for different wind turbine types and how can it be reduced?"To answer that research question the author starts off in Chapter 1 by outlining the thesis objective and describing all of the other research questions that must be answered to achieve that objective. The following chapters then provide background and contain novel analyses on the variables that are required to calculate the cost of energy. Chapter two looks at the failure rates of different wind turbine types and includes novel failure rate field analysis of on and offshore wind turbines. Chapter 3 estimates O&M costs and availabilities for 4 different wind turbine types at a number of different hypothetical offshore sites. Chapter 4 estimates the cost of energy of the four different wind turbine types for a number of hypothetical offshore sites. Chapter 5 then investigates ways of reducing the overall cost of energy from offshore wind. Lastly, Chapter 6 concludes the thesis.Results from each chapter are novel and provide some new insight into the variables that contribute towards calculating the cost of energy. The thesis concludes that across all sites examined, the turbine type that offers the lowest cost of energy is the direct drive permanent magnet generator with a fully rated converter. The vessel strategy that offered the lowest cost of energy with this turbine type was the fix on fail strategy across all sites and further cost of energy savings could be made through the use of condition monitoring systems, performance based maintenance contracts or through the reduction in the need for heavy lift vessels through in-built lifting or large component modularity. The results shown in this thesis will be useful for wind farm developers, operators and wind turbine manufacturers. Developers can use the results to assist in the selection of turbine types. Operators can gain an insight into what is driving their O&M costs and manufactures can see which wind turbine drive train type to develop and manufacture to satisfy one of their key customer requirements, a lower cost of energy.
Book Synopsis Economics of Offshore Wind Power by : Rahmatallah Poudineh
Download or read book Economics of Offshore Wind Power written by Rahmatallah Poudineh and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides an overview of the policy frameworks that have been employed to support offshore wind power, and their efficacy in nurturing sustainable cost reductions across the industry.A growing number of countries are increasingly receptive to the prospect of implementing policies to support the deployment of large-scale renewable energy. The promise of carbon-free, utility-scale power generation from offshore wind farms has incentivised and nurtured offshore wind development. However, the high relative costs of deploying offshore wind compared to alternatives have a history of making it political divisive pursuit. At the same time when many countries are just beginning to explore the possibility of developing an offshore wind industry, many other countries are experiencing what can be described as policy fatigue over supporting offshore wind. If cost reductions are not proven sustainable by the early 2020’s, then government support for offshore wind may start to erode and even completely evaporate in several key offshore wind markets – with global repercussions. This book will provide the reader with a clear picture of the current status and future challenges of the offshore wind industry globally, incorporating both a technical analysis of the cost drivers as well as a detailed analysis of policy design and economics of industry.
Book Synopsis Modelling Offshore Wind Farm Operation and Maintenance by : XI. YU
Download or read book Modelling Offshore Wind Farm Operation and Maintenance written by XI. YU and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wind turbine is of course far more complicated than just a tower topped with a big fan, especially for the offshore ones. Wind energy as a green energy resource with zero fuel requirements, and thus no processing waste, has been assuming an increasingly important role in energy generation. Offshore wind farms with their steady output and low sensual impact have been gradually accepted by the public and authorities. Once built, the only cost for a wind farm is the operation and maintenance cost. Therefore, the question of how to reduce the failure rate and the operation and maintenance costs, and make offshore wind energy cheaper, is particularly pertinent, and is discussed in great detail here. This book details the various aspects of wind energy, and is accessible to the lay reader without any specialist knowledge. It explores the numerous concepts associated with offshore wind farm operation and maintenance with condition monitoring system, and vividly presents the the basics of wind energy, augmenting this with a large amount of valuable real wind farm case studies.
