Hywind

Hywind is a type of offshore wind farm that uses floating turbines rather than fixed-bottom ones, allowing it to be placed in deeper waters where storms are less intense. These turbines harness wind energy to generate electricity, which is then transmitted to the mainland. The floating design offers greater flexibility in deployment locations and reduces the environmental footprint on the seabed. Hywind, developed by Statoil (now Equinor), exemplifies innovative renewable energy technology that expands the potential for wind power generation in deep offshore areas, contributing to cleaner energy production and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
