Descripción del proyecto
Una tecnología rentable para capturar el viento en el mar
Los recursos eólicos sin explotar en zonas marinas que no son económicamente atractivas constituyen un reto para el sector de la energía eólica. El proyecto FLAGSHIP, financiado con fondos europeos, demostrará y validará una turbina eólica marina flotante rentable de 10 MW para garantizar una futura reducción del coste normalizado de la energía en 2030 espoleada por las economías de escala, unas cadenas de suministro competitivas y múltiples innovaciones. El proyecto representa la primera demostración de una turbina eólica marina flotante de 10 MW, que se probará a escala real en el mar del Norte de Noruega como un parque eólico precomercial. La turbina eólica marina flotante consiste en una plataforma flotante de hormigón semisumergible innovadora y fiable que incluye un diseño de anclaje fácil de instalar, amarres y configuraciones de amarre novedosos, nuevos diseños de cables con una instalación optimizada y procedimientos de gestión de ciclo de vida.
Objetivo
The main aim of FLAGSHIP project is to validate and demonstrate a cost-effective 10MW Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) to ensure imminent LCOE reduction in the range 40-60€/MWh in 2030 driven by economies of scale, competitive supply chains and a variety of innovations. The concept beyond is the first ever demonstration of a 10MW FOWT that will be demonstrated at a 1:1 scale in the Norwegian North Sea. It is a robust and innovative semi-submersible concrete floating platform that include easy-to-install anchoring design, novel moorings and mooring configuration, designs as well as new cable designs in with optimised installation and life management procedures.
Consequently, this innovative demonstrator, as a pre-commercial windfarm located in the harsh conditions of the North Sea, will be the starting point for the large-scale assembly for 500 MW future commercial FOW farms, ensuring its feasibility to other specific locations in the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean and Baltic seas. In this context, the successful development will provide a fast maturing solution which could exploit untapped wind resources located in offshore locations not economically attractive today. For this purpose, the knowledge generated by FLAGSHIP and the results of the demonstrative scenarios, will be very important for the industrialisation of floating offshore wind farms.
Technology demonstration can only be brought to the required commercial maturity level (TRL8) by the implementation in a real environment. To this end, 12 complementary partners with broad experience across the whole FOW value chain will join forces in a multi-disciplinary consortium. In addition, International stakeholders have already expressed their interest in the project, including Wind Europe, Ore Catapult, Carbon Trust & Sustainable Energy, making special emphasis in MHI Vestas Offshore Wind in order to support the demonstration project making available its largest capacity wind turbine up to 10MW.
