The Delft Offshore Turbine (DOT) is a DUWIND research project that focuses on reducing the cost of offshore wind energy by bringing a radical change in offshore wind turbine technology. The main concept is to centralize electricity generation by having individual wind turbines create a flow of pressurized seawater to a hydropower station. The idea behind the DOT is that the high power to weight ratio from hydraulic drive systems gives the opportunity for a reduced nacelle mass and increased reliability of components by eliminating the use of individual gear trains, generators and power electronics. Therefore, the ultimate goal of this project is not only to suggest an efficient way of exploiting offshore wind but to present a cost efficient assembly. The development of the hydraulic drive train of the individual turbines has been studied over the last 3 years. This paper builds on these results and shows the working of these systems on a wind farm level. The model is built up for a North Sea site with 5MW DOT turbines with a total installed capacity of 1GW. By investigating hydro turbines, the central hydro power station is designed and detailed in this paper. |
