The US startup Ocergy is readying a modular, hyper-local, cost-cutting system for manufacturing new floating wind platforms .
One is a low Levelized Cost Of Electricity, which refers to a basis for comparing different kinds of electricity-producing systems. Ocery attributes the low LCOE of its floating platform to its light weight and a focus on minimizing capital expenditures. “The lightweight modular hull can be fabricated and assembled in a fully industrial manner, maximizing the flexibility to use local and global supply chains,” Ocergy emphasizes.Ocergy has also focused its attention on a platform design that can accommodate today’s generation of supersized wind turbines.
In terms of quayside operations, Ocergy also notes that distributing the weight among four columns, instead of three, allows for the platform to sit in shallower water, potentially opening up more local construction sites compared to platforms that require deeper water. The four-column design also streamlines the construction process by avoiding the need to re-balance the platform while the turbine is being assembled.
“By fabricating component globally and assembling them close to the project site, a broader supply chain can be targeted, and the fully commissioned turbines can be installed offshore at the rate of at least one unit per week, a key requirement for the economic viability of commercial-scale floating offshore wind projects,” Ocergy explains.
