World’s First Floating Offshore Wind Farm Celebrates Five Years Of Operation

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on offshoreWIND.biz.

This is the sub-heading.

Hywind Scotland, the first floating offshore wind farm in the world, has passed five years in operation since its commissioning in 2017.

And this is the first paragraph.

According to Equinor, Hywind Scotland is the world’s best-performing offshore wind farm, achieving a capacity factor of 54 per cent over its five years of operations.

Note.

  1. Hywind Scotland is a 30 MW wind farm with five turbines.
  2. The capacity faction is much higher than a windfarm with fixed foundations.
  3. The water depth is between 95 and120 metres.
  4. The wind farm is 30 km. off Peterhead.

There is at least 15 GW of floating wind farms being planned in UK waters before 2030.

Conclusion

The wind farm has made a good start for the first floating wind farm.

Looking For A Job

There’s probably a lot like me these days, what with Putin’s war having depressed the financial markets and put up the cost of everything.

I’m now 75 and seem to regularly get good news about my health, which probably means that my pension will have to stretch further.

Before Christmas, I did a couple of weeks as a volunteer receptionist in a research institute and I enjoyed it.

Perhaps, I’m just lonely and feel a job would liven up my life.

I have a large number of skills and a wide range of knowledge about technical subjects.

I have programmed in many languages with the most useful probably being VB6, which I used for perhaps twenty years, so I might be the guy to update a VB6 system, that is vital to your business.

I am very much an algorithm person because of my background and have done a lot of work in project management.

I also live a few miles North of the City of London.

So if you have any ideas let me know!
