As in the image above, the Norway company “Wind Catching Systems” claims with five of their innovative floating “Windcatcher”s can produce up to the same amount of electricity as 25 conventional turbines.
Windcatcher is designed where there are a group of small turbines constructed in an array formation on a single platform and collectively able to generate five times energy compared to the single world’s biggest conventional turbines. Besides, Windcatcher is cheaper to produce as with the small turbines they don’t require a big mould and simultaneously don't require high heat energy to manufacture as for 107 metres big blades. Furthermore, Windcatcher is cheaper to run with their smaller turbines, since the only particular damaged turbine only will be repaired or replace as other turbines still operating, this design can avoid downtime or power shut down because of maintenance. These will contribute to the country being able to achieve higher energy per cost of investment. Hence, the government is able to make use more of their national budget for other developments that can benefit the citizen.
The world not only realised that renewable energies are clean and free but, they also can be dense of energy if they are been extract or capture or channel correctly, as not every energy sources are handle in the same way. Depends on the geographical areas; some have a very strong wind and some are very sunny throughout the day, and the engineers are working hard to develop the right infrastructure that is cost-efficient and high energy generates per square meter to received what these renewable energies have to offer. Besides, they also work on the supporting infrastructures such as the loss-less high energy storage in a compact size, other than that, they are developing low to zero resistance cable to transfer enough energy at a further distance without inputting high unnecessary excess-soon-to-be-waste energy from the source or the distribution (transformers).
