Blue H - Offshore Wind Farms

Frequently Asked Questions:

  
Is it true that deepwater offshore floating wind energy technology is  10 - 15 years away?

 

Blue H's technology is here now.  In December of 2007, Blue H launched the world’s first floating turbine off the coast of southern Italy.  During the summer of 2008, Blue H's large scale prototype wind energy unit was installed 11.5 nautical miles off the southern Italian coast in deepwater (371 ft).   Currently, Blue H is manufacturing the world’s first commercial floating wind energy unit which is scheduled for installation by the summer of 2009 in Italy’s southern region of Puglia.  This project is expected to be the first operational deepwater wind energy farm in the world.  

 

  Isn't the cabling distance too far to transmit electricity cost effectively from far offshore deepwater wind farms?
 

There are numerous worldwide sites where electricity is transmitted efficiently         from distances well beyond Blue H's proposed deepwater offshore wind farms.  The North Sea and Greek Islands are two such locations.

High voltage direct current (HVDC Light®) is a successful and environmentally friendly way to transmit power under water for long distances.  The environmental benefits include oil free cables, compact converter stations, and neutral electromagnetic fields.  HVDC Light® cabling technology increases the reliability of the power grids and improves the quality of the power supply.
