Problems and Solutions on Windturbines
Since late December, Hywind functions more like a windmill normal, with many stops and starts. In a trial period of 24 hours Bratland said showed that most of the performance of similar installations on land.
It was not entirely surprising, since one of the reasons for the construction of windmills, the float is that the winds are generally stronger and more coherent in the sea than on land.
Another reason to build floating platforms for wind turbines, is what some call the NIMBY problem. Not in my backyard, that is. Even people who did not used to promote green energy plants near his home. Concern the noise, ugliness, and disturbances that have been made with the construction of a large wind project as reasons to want windmills in their families and communities.

"The NIMBY effect is one of the challenges that can easily be taken by sea to provide the wind [platforms]," Bratland said.
The environment?
At sea, will not answer all the objections, however.
There are still fears of migratory birds killed by flying into the blades. Anne Murray, Conservation Committee Co-Chairman of the Federation of British Columbia scientist, said that many birds fly and the sea and the impact of wind turbines on them, even away from the earth is still uncertain.
It remains to see what makes life in the water, platforms as they begin to be built in large numbers.
Alla Weinstein, Principle Power Executive Director, the platform says fishing, artificial reefs can be treated. This could be a security risk if you are attracted by the commercial fishery in the vicinity of factories, but the floating wind turbines do not seem to pose a threat to the fish themselves, "she said. He added that the cables used to anchor the platforms to "string a few feet wide," that life at sea, like whales and dolphins can be easily recognized and not to swim in
But Murray said, people should take into account any offshore technology completely eliminates the problems of the environment.
New Approach
There is already offshore, where wind turbine factories permanently anchored to the seabed, and there are puddles shallow offshore, where installation is possible, Bratland said. Why companies like Statoil also interested in the development of floating platforms?
"The main benefit we see is that most start-up and installation on the coast or in shallow water and dragged into the sea to do," he said.
And floating platforms can be mounted almost anywhere, including deep water, thus more flexibility for developers. Hywind design work in 120 - to 700-m depth, while the wind Weinstein said float platform can go anywhere in the water 35 feet deep or more. This makes it easier to limit the design of a wind farm for optimal production without having to go through the seabed area, Bratland said.
Another good thing floating platforms is that the underlying technology is not new.
The windmill at the top of the platform is a windmill and the "float" is very similar to an oil platform, said Jennifer Zajac, editor of Saturday Night Live Energy, a research company market in Charlottesville, Virginia "are not new, just invented the wheel."
Weinstein says this is a lot of questions when you are approved projects. You know, after being involved in a company with the turbine shaft on the high seas to ensure that regulators are not well understood and the process does not look good for approval of facilities that are fixed permanently on the seabed has put in place. The windmill platforms such as the wind is so similar to floating platforms for oil, processes and standards, "he said.
