挪威在十月一日开工建造将由十一台八兆瓦风电机组成的目前世界上最大的浮动式海上风电场。与前不同的是,他们这次用钢筋混凝土替代钢作为结构材料来建造用于承载风电机的浮动平台。 有兴趣想知道更多的细节,可阅读下面来自登载在worldoil网站上的报道, Norway kicks off construction of world’s largest floating offshore wind farm 10/1/2020 Hywind Tampen floating wind farm layout OSLO - Prime Minister Erna Solberg and Kværner apprentice Arne Linga started construction of Hywind Tampen, a floating offshore wind farm, at Kværner Stord. The technology project opens up new opportunities for Norwegian industry. Prime Minister Solberg and Linga started the cutting robot on the project's first sheet of steel on Thursday, 1 October. Kværner’s assignment will include building 11 floating concrete hulls for the turbines on Hywind Tampen. Hywind Tampen is a new chapter in Norway’s narrative as an energy nation. With support from the Norwegian authorities, we're not only building Norway’s first offshore wind project; we're refining floating offshore wind technology along with the Norwegian supplier industry, says Equinor president and CEO Eldar Sætre. Eighty percent of the world's offshore wind resources are located in deep water areas and are available for floating offshore wind projects. If we can use projects like Hywind Tampen to make floating offshore wind competitive with other forms of energy, the technology will be able to deliver large-scale renewable power and contribute to a more sustainable global energy supply. A floating offshore wind market will also open up considerable industrial opportunities for Norwegian industry, Sætre says. The development of the Hywind Tampen project involves around 250 full-time equivalents for Kværner employees. Kværner's project will also generate around 800 full-time equivalents in ripple effects for suppliers and the public sector, among others. Equinor's ambition is for floating offshore wind to be competitive with other forms of energy by 2030. By using larger turbines, concrete substructures, new technology and a new assembly method, we're well on our way toward delivering on the objective to reduce costs by more than 40% compared with Hywind Scotland. This is an important step to establish floating wind as a sustainable power supply alternative, says Hywind Tampen project director Olav-Bernt Haga. If more major floating offshore wind projects are realised in the future, it will be possible to reduce costs even further, and we could see a development in cost reductions equivalent to the one we've seen in fixed foundation offshore wind, Haga says. Equinor sees a potential for floating offshore wind projects in Norway, the UK, Europe, the US and Asia. The Hywind Tampen project will be the first floating offshore wind project to supply renewable power for oil and gas installations. The wind farm will have a total capacity of 88 MW, and is expected to cover about 35 percent of the annual power needs on the five platforms Snorre A and B and Gullfaks A, B and C. Hywind Tampen will reduce emissions from the Gullfaks and Snorre fields by more than 200,000 tonnes per year, which corresponds to annual emissions from 100,000 private vehicles. Equinor has been a pioneer in floating offshore wind technology and has been working on this technology for nearly 20 years. When the Hywind Tampen project is operational in 2022, the company will be operating one-third of the global floating offshore wind capacity.
对孙学军老师博文《不要迷恋统计学》的一点补充:统计学不但是工具,更是研究方法。 研究方法分为归纳和演绎,统计学几乎是归纳法的全部内容。 经验科学(Empirical Sciences)的主要特点就是从噪音中寻找真谛,因此,统计学不是一种“迫不得已的工具”,而是科学研究的必需,它具体体现在假设检验上。任何一项科学试验都是建立在假设(是Hypothesis,而不是assumptions)的基础上,试验的主要目的就是证伪(falsify)这个假设——这也是波普尔科学哲学的核心思想。 近代历史德国人雄于思辨,成就了许多哲学大家;英国人强于观察和归纳,成就了日不落帝国的几百年辉煌;现代中国呢,似乎陷于工具中不可自拔,所以高铁、机场、政府房、核电站、风电场都在盲目疯狂地兴建。 God does not only play dice, but play in the dark.
