The Hexicon Energy Concept: Wind, Wave and Solar Energy Floating Platform
Geschreven op 8-3-2010 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in Energie en BesparingThe Hexicon Energy Concept offers easy installation solutions of energy producing platforms at any seaside location with patented assembly and hull-system applications.
The Hexicon provides many options as to where it can be located, how it can be equipped, assembled and provide different solutions to produce and then distribute energy.
It can produce energy from Wind turbines and optional Wave generator installations and when available excellent for ocean-current applications as well as “wave-traps”, which can bring oxygen rich surface water down to the ocean floor, when deemed applicable in specific areas. And don’t forget some solar panels.
There are additional possible applications to be researched, developed & tested live on board future platforms including non energy applications. Floating platform to harvest wind energy to generate up to 40MW of renewable power.
With nations pledging to reduce the carbon footprint to counter global warming, the need for systems that generate renewable energy has been on a rise. While most energy companies are trying to find locations for renewable energy power plants, Sweden’s Hexicon has developed a new solution for offshore wind power. Source: Ecofriend
