Statoil鈥檚 ambitions in offshore wind, industrial and research challenges
On the 29th of January, the Geophysical Institute, 幸运飞艇计划 and Statoil invited to a seminar on Statoil鈥檚 ambitions in offshore wind, industrial and research challenges
Main content
On the 29th of January, central people from Statoil鈥檚 efforts on offshore wind visited the Geophysical Institute. Arne Eik, Gudmund Per Olsen and Nenad Keseric presented the ambitions and research challenges within offshore wind focusing on floating solutions, specifically Hywind.
Furthermore, Lars Henrik Hos酶y presented Aibel鈥檚 ambitions for offshore wind, and Gunnar Buvik showed how many of the companies within the network associated with GCE Subsea is now taking competency from subsea technology in oil and gas to marine renewable energy.
Joachim Reuder and Kristin Guldbrandsen Fr酶ysa summarized some of the results achieved in NORCOWE, and explained how this activity is now continued. Peter Haugan gave the background of 幸运飞艇计划鈥檚 efforts in climate and energy transition, whereas K氓rstein M氓seide presented the CET centre.
About 40 attendants, students and staff from HVL and 幸运飞艇计划, as well as representatives from the industry were present at the seminar.

Hywind
Hywind is Statoil鈥檚 solution for floating offshore wind turbines. In 2009, Hywind Demo was deployed off the coast of Karm酶y becoming the world鈥檚 first full-scale floating wind turbine. Today, the 2.3 MW wind turbine has operated successfully for more than eight years, enduring wind speeds of 40 m/s and wave heights as high as 19 meters. This successful experience lead to Statoil installing the world鈥檚 first floating wind farm outside Scotland, consisting of five 6 MW wind turbines. Hywind Scotland started generating electricity in October 2017.
