Project Description

OFFSHORE WIND FLOATING PLATFORMS

PROJECT: RDS Reduced Draft Spar Concept

  • Floating platform designed for a 8MW turbine.
  • Simple and robust geometry. Easy to scale
  • Concrete SPAR concept designed with reduced draft
  • Active Ballast System
  • TRL 5 Achieved, validated through model test
  • Cost effective: reduction in CAPEX and OPEX versus other solutions
  • Minimize the Marine Operations (towing + hook up)
