Andrew Zalay will speak about problem solving in today's technology for sea based wind power. There are several  innovations on the horizon that can advance the state of the art of off-shore wind (OSW) at deep water sites. New designs can reduce the cost and construction timeline for placing stable, spar buoy floating foundations and wind turbine generators (WTG) can be installed more simply and less expensively with a new barge design integrated with hoisting equipment. The wind industry will benefit from oil industry knowledge and job transfer. He will discuss the potential for OSW in the USA, current limitations and exciting new technology to enable the more widespread deployment of this renewable energy source.
