ABSTRACT:

A floating wind turbine system with a tower structure that includes at least
one stability arm extending there from and that is anchored to the sea floor with a rotatable position
retention device that facilitates deep water installations. Variable buoyancy for the wind turbine
system is provided by buoyancy chambers that are integral to the tower itself as well as the stability
arm. Pumps are included for adjusting the buoyancy as an aid in system transport, installation,
repair and removal. The wind turbine rotor is located downwind of the tower structure to allow the
wind turbine to follow the wind direction without an active yaw drive system.
INTRODUCTION

A floating wind turbine is a wind turbine mounted on a floating structure that

allows the turbine to generate electricity in water depths where bottom-mounted towers are not feasible.
The wind can be stronger and steadier over water due to the absence of topographic features that may
disrupt wind flow. The electricity generated is sent to shore through undersea cables. The initial capital
cost of floating turbines is competitive with bottom-mounted, near-shore wind turbines while the rate of
energy generation is higher out in the sea as the wind flow is often more steady and unobstructed by
terrain features.
NEED FOR FLOATING WINDMILLS:

• Energy is a major factor in today’s society

• Alternative fuel and alternative energy resources are in great demand
• Most everyone in the world is looking for more energyefficient ways to live
• Hybrid vehicles and other fuel-efficient technology is arising around the world
• The world has to change, this emergency that we are experiencing today should have been taken
care of long before now.
• Now we have no choice but to develop new technology in very little time
DESIGN CONSIDERATION

• Basic Load Considerations.

• Whether you are building wind turbines, you have to take the strength, the dynamic behaviour, and
the fatigue properties of your materials and the entire assembly into consideration.
• Wind turbines are built to catch the wind's kinetic (motion) energy.
PARTS OF WIND TURBINE
 Rotor.
 Gearbox
 Generator
 Yaw motor
 Controller
 Anemometer
 Mechanical brake
 Main shaft.
WORKING PRINCIPLE

Wind turbines work on a very simple principle that when the wind turns the blades, which causes the axis
to rotate, which is attached to a generator, which produces DC electricity, which is then converted to AC
via an inverter that can then be passed on to power your home. The stronger the wind, the more electricity
is generated from the motion
TYPE OF STRUCTURES

1) Tensioned moorings
2) Ballast
3) Hydrostatic (surface area)
Energy production from windmills

 An average onshore wind turbine with a capacity of 2.5–3 MW can produce more than 6 million
kWh in a year – enough to supply 1,500 average EU households with electricity.
 An average offshore wind turbine of 3.6 MW can power more than 3,312 average EU households.
 Electricity generators produce alternating current (AC) electricity.
 ADVANTAGES

Compared to other energy sources, windmills are very kind to the enviroment. Compared to power
stations driven by coal they will save the enviroment for:
1.Carbon dioxide (CO2) 850,0g
2.Sulphur dioxide (SO2) 2,9g·
3.Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) 2,6g·
4.Dust 0,1g,Cinders, and flying ashes 55,1g
DISADVANTAGES

 Windmills are tall and they stand on places were the terrain is very open and free.
 Therefore there is also free outlook to the windmills.
 If the wind speed has reached its maximum the mill is forced to reduce speed to not hurt the mills'
machinery.
 It is a disadvantage that the windmills don't have an engine with greater capacity
CONCLUSION
 Optimized Spar Buoy and TLP Wind Turbine Floaters.
 Low Responses – Use of Onshore Wind Turbines
 Hybrid Offshore Wind & Wave Farms
 Optimal Control to Enhance Wind and Wave Power Output
 Design of Offshore Electric Grids
 Attractive Economic Attributes
 Project Finance for Utility Scale Offshore Wind & Wave Farms.
