Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton, 2. 3-megawatt turbine, Hywind represents totally new technology.
12、 The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar, a technology Hywinds creator, the Norwegian company StatoilHydro, has developed recently.

Hywinds stability in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. If all goes according to the plan, the turbine will start producing electricity s
