About planned Offshore Huge Wind Power integration to the grid
General description of innovation and clearly describe what problem it aims to solve
(max. 300 words)

 

Background: Just before Covid crisis, Ministry of Energy (DoE), USA publicly admitting that more than 100 GW offshore Wind power capacity built in USA, is not an achievement, but disaster, and were forced to seek help outside their system for ideas (Request for Information (RFI) DE-FOA-0002389 asked by the DoE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) and Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO)), how to integrate such gigantic not predictable and not enough cheap power into American national power grids, so admitting that conception of Smart Grids was and is no more than folly.

Our way to integrate such huge energy, it is real possibility of backing the national grids by cost competitive carbon neutral artificial fuels synthetized from atmospheric CO2 and H2 from the water split by electricity cheaper USD 0.01/kWh and produced by renewable power plants with payback in some months. 

Really:  We succeeded in wind power design and evaluate it, promising electricity about 0.35 cent/kWh at 5 years payback. Being sold with income 10 cents, payback would be 2.0 months, and further it would be a net profit, can be redirected for building of 5.0 identical power plants are equal to previously ones were built. It is “breeding” investment”, allows by credit for a first power plant in five steps to invest and build some tens analogous power plants. Such power plants consumes a small area for unit and can be installed anywhere as at the land, as in abundant area of seas and oceans, even if in very deep waters.

All these allow clean, and distributed, and comprehensive power supply, in emergency cases too,  while earlier started alternatives can be stopped and their losses restructured and return for many years.  (285 words)

Brief introduction to the project team, experience and achievements (max. 200 words)

Being a private person of golden age, now I use a tied co-operation world-widely with actual persons in real economics and with real R & D institutions.
I was born in former USSR in 1939. 1962 –I was graduated as Dipl.-Eng. in Mechanics and Technology with emphasis on control and automation in chemical industry and mathematic simulation.
Through my life from 1962 was started in systems engineering, I had a duty experience in course in:
(1) air traffic control, (2) microbiological industry, (3) pulp and paper industry, (4) technology of microelectronics, (5) capital construction, (6) typical design, (7) concrete industry, and was working as a researcher, a developer, a designer, a technical supervisor, and as a worker too.
1961- 1973 - 5 years of post-graduate evening study on:
(1) applied mathematics, (2) electrical engineering: (a) radio engineering, (b) electronic and ionic technology (c) automated control systems.
Besides, I have very rich 50-years off-duty professional experience in economics and inventions in very wide spectra of engineering and engineering systems.
Being in my past prisoned 18 years long, and being immigrant in Israel since 1981, I have been registered in Israel as an engineer in 2000 only. (195 words)

What makes this innovation stand out compared to the state-of-the-art technologies in
the field of this innovation and why should it be implemented in one of our future offshore
wind farms (max. 300 words)

Realistic possibilities to create electricity much cheaper than 1.0 cent/kWh, allows gigantic wind power to integrate in the national grids, it makes my innovation stand out compared to the state-of-art technologies in the field in the innovation to recommend it to be implemented for your company future offshore wind farms. Moreover, I can offer some such technologies including their variants for offshore wind farms, where the lion cost share of them is a price of electric generators was about USD 80.0/kW, or 8000 cent / (5 years payback * 8766 hours / 0.5 capacity factor)  =~ 0.35 cent/kWh Q.EG ! 

It can be a matrix of numerous small conventional wind turbines, being inherently cheaper, because being much thinner for big area, and simpler in manufacturing, in transportation, in installation, in treatment vs. unitary gigantic wind turbines of the same power and area. Such wind power matrix is compact and can be installed anywhere, as on the land, as at the sky, as in abundant area of seas and oceans, even if in very deep waters. 

Another possibility is energy of numerous sail boats moved by wind and rotating a hydraulic turbine, is fixed underwater, and equipped by generator producing electricity, then reformed in hydrogen collected on-board, then transported to floating terminals manufacturing artificial fuels. They are cheaper USD 70.0/barrel, if produced from H2 and atmospheric CO2, because such cheapest electricity. (230 words)  

 

Estimated costs to implement and maintain the solution
Current TRL: TRL 2+, EU – – Technology concept formulated and evaluated
Costs to reach TRL 7 or higher: Not less than 1000 kW TRL 7 EU system is well scalable, and can be about USD 2,300,000 or so, to reach TRL 7, see more detailed below. 

Capital expenditure for implementation (mention scale!): Not more than USD 200,000 for matrix wind turbines of USD 100.0/kW for 1000 kW totally
Operational expenditure to maintain (per year): being quite speculative estimation, it is about USD 50,000 -100,000 for shirt-term by-partners + 900,000 for core multidisciplinary start-up (per year) for 1.5 – 2.5 years.  

Note: Supposing retails price in order of magnitude higher than unit price for big order, not less than 1000 kW TRL 7 EU system is well scalable, and comprise quite known technologies, it is totally in lion share being operational expenditures to maintain, mainly for salary, including for earlier TRL-s, and capital expenditures are relatively negligible.

Include a timeline & roadmap, supported with arguments and/or evidence in which you
describe the pathway from current TRL to TRL 7 (or higher) within the next 5 to 7 years.
(max. 300 words)

 

The pathway from current TRL to TRL 7 doesn’t need next 5 to 7 years, but about 2 years in peace only, because my innovation is management of investment allows offshore wind power farms of total gigantic power to be integrated in the national grids. And to prove it for decision makers, it needs to design in details and to install 1000 kW wind power farm prototype, producing enough cheap electricity and works in real nature environment and integrated to the grid as a sub-station backed by oil as a fuel (TRL 7), can serve together with demonstration of artificial oil production now being expensive, but to be competitive with our cheap electricity.  (113 words)

 

Listing of the top-3 development risks and how to mitigate these

 

(a) The pathway from current TRL to TRL 7 needs about two years in peace, but the last is very problematic now + not stable economic environment, and it can stop realization TRL 7 and higher.

(b) Artificial oil production technologies ordinary were going not far than startups and patenting, or lectures only and were archived, because not enough cheap energy did that oil expensive. It would be not simple to find not archived, but working ones to demonstrate them that it’s real technology, but enough cheap one with our cheap electricity, allows huge offshore wind power farms to integrate in national grids.

(c)  Design choice of TRL 7 prototype to be representative and choice of representative site to install, there are a risk of mistakes, so needs serious multidisciplinary consideration.
