Flydende havvind er allerede godt på vej flere steder, men en vigtig brik mangler stadig: Hvordan gør vi transformerstationerne flydende? 🌊 Mohsen Soltani har sammen med sin forskningsgruppe, Offshore Renewable Energy Systems, arbejdet på projektet FOSS – Floating Offshore SubStation – som har haft målet at gøre havvind tilgængeligt også på de store dybder. Og der er et enormt potentiale: Op mod 80 % af verdens offshore vindressourcer findes faktisk på havdybder over 60 meter, hvor traditionelle fundamenter ikke kan bruges. Det er netop dén udfordring, partnerne bag FOSS har kastet sig over. 💡  Med støtte fra EUDP - Det Energiteknologiske Udviklings- og Demonstrationsprogram har Semco Maritime, ISC Rådgivende Ingeniører, Inocean, Aalborg University og Energy Cluster Denmark i 20 måneder arbejdet på at udvikle et banebrydende konceptuelt design for en flydende transformerstation.  Fokusområderne er:  🟢 Den flydende struktur  🟢 Topside og layout af komponenter  🟢 Elektrisk design  🟢 Kabelhåndtering og fortøjningslinjer Målet? At gøre det muligt at udnytte endnu flere vindressourcer og producere grøn strøm – også på store vanddybder 🌍💨 Sådan kan døren åbnes til at gøre langt flere havvindområder kommercielt attraktive. Er du også nysgerrig på fremtidens løsninger inden for flydende havvind? Lær mere om FOSS i denne explainer: https://lnkd.in/dU9A8nyz Tak til Energy Cluster Danmark for den flotte video!
