据能源新闻12月5日消息称，根据最近的一份报告，到2050年，浮动风电装机容量将从目前的100兆瓦增长到250 吉瓦，增长2000倍。
它补充说，浮动风能将在全球能源体系的脱碳过程中发挥重要作用，到2050年将占全球电力供应的2%，占海上风电市场的逾20%。
不过，这项技术要扩大规模，还需要更全面的行业标准和风险管理。
挪威风险管理和质量保证公司DNV GL发布了一份题为“浮动风能:商业化的力量”的报告称：“到2050年，浮动风能的成本将下降约70％，并为海上风能、油气和海洋产业的参与者提供新的机会，因为他们将减少对化石燃料的依赖，”
根据这份报告，由于不受海洋深度的限制，浮动风力发电将是一种吸引人的选择，可以让包括亚太大城市在内的世界上更多的人口能够使用风力发电。
它补充说，这些节约的关键将是引进更大的涡轮机，更大的风力发电场，重大的技术发展和建立一个具有高成本竞争力的供应链。

Floating wind power capacity to grow 2,000-fold by 2050
Installed floating wind power capacity is set to grow from 100 megawatt (MW) at present to 250 GW in 2050, a 2,000-fold increase, according to a recent report.
It added that floating wind would play an important role in decarbonising the global energy system, contributing 2 per cent of the world’s power supply by 2050 and more than 20 per cent of the offshore wind market.
However, more comprehensive industry standards and risk management would be required for the technology to scale.
“The cost of floating wind will fall about 70 per cent by 2050 and offer new opportunities to players in the offshore wind, oil and gas and maritime industries as they shift their portfolios to become less dependent According to the report, unrestrained by ocean depth, floating wind power would be an attractive option to bring wind power in reach of much more of the world’s population including the mega cities of Asia Pacific.
It added that the key to these savings would be the introduction of larger turbines, larger wind farms, significant technology developments and the creation of a highly cost-competitive supply chain.
