Wind turbine generator oil platform operation

Can wind power be integrated with offshore oil and gas platforms?

The potential of integrating wind power with offshore oil and gas platforms Enova SF. Potential study of ocean energy in Norway (In Norwegian) .2007. Available at Ø. Skarstein, K. Uhlen Design considerations with respect to long-term diesel saving in wind/diesel plants

Can floating wind power offshore oil and gas operations?

Two senior marine construction executives provide an in-depth analysis of an innovative proposal to use electricity from floating wind turbines to power offshore oil and gas operations to reduce GHG. Floating offshore wind is widely acknowledged as the answer to exploit deepwater sites with abundant wind resources.

Can floating wind turbines power offshore facilities?

Fig. 3. A proposition to power offshore facilities with electricity from floating wind turbines. DJ: Currently, offshore platforms in the UKCS produce 18 million tonnes of CO 2 emissions per year. It is estimated that 75% of this figure is associated with power generation emissions (13.5 million tonnes).

Can offshore oil and gas platforms supply power from the onshore power grid?

This paper investigates the possibilities of supplying offshore oil and gas platforms with power from the onshore power grid combined with offshore wind power. A system consisting of five oil and gas platforms connected to an offshore wind farm with a common VSC-HVDC link to the onshore power grid is studied.

Can offshore wind farms be operated in parallel with gas turbines?

Offshore wind farms may thus be an economic and environmentally sound option. This paper presents this possibility assuming a wind farm to be operated in parallel with gas turbines. Fuel savings and emissions reductions are quantified by numerical simulations of a case study of an offshore platform in the North Sea.

Are offshore wind turbines ready?

Today, many offshore wind turbine (OWT) technologies have reached a high technology readiness level, and a substantial decline of 20% in the levelised cost of energy (LCOE) of offshore wind projects has been observed between 2010 and 2018.
