The engineering concept is expceptional, but one thing wories me . The last power turbine I was involved withstarting up, for Hong kong Electric in 2006 had generating capacity of 380 Mw..
That is equivilant to 38 Subsea turbines, providing all the turbines are in operation and not down for Maintenance.
I realise that this was guzzling tons of LPG per hour , and I further realise that LPG consumption is in direct competion with Human food production ( via the LPG->NH3-> NPK fertiliser production)
However the logistics and maintenance for any thing to do with ofshore is horrendous .
It looks to me like the viablity of this concept will be down to reliable run times . Do you expect the run times time to be 38 times better than a conventional gasturbine set ?
