News inserita il giorno: 24/06/2009


Statoil Hydro ha installato il prototipo di aerogeneratore galleggiante, da 2,3 MW, che porta a circa 700 metri la profondità dei fondali ove sarà possibile realizzare centrali eoliche off-shore.


The world's first full-scale floating windmill has reached its final destination, ten kilometres southwest of Karmøy, where it has been moored to the seabed.The next step is cable-laying to land, which is scheduled for July.


The test period will start in the autumn of 2009 and will last for two years. The pilot combines technology from both the Wind and Oil&Gas industry
and draws upon expertise from StatoilHydro's longstanding offshore experience.
