No longer that the structure cannot stand the large force from the large turbine or too expensive. This system radically rethinks the approach to turbine support and paves the way for the deployment of even larger turbines in more challenging environments.
Our system offers unique advantages for floating wind turbines: 1) Reduced hub weight minimizes dynamic forces on the platform. 2) Our innovative design actively reduces foundation loads, enhancing platform stability. 3)The wind vaning feature optimizes wind capture while minimizing stress on the floating structure.
The system is equally applicable to support turbine onshore, less load, less material, better energy efficiency. What is more, The reduced and flat shaped tower size will make it particularly appealing for onland transportations.
The flexible tower design can be used to retrofit decommisioned turbine to extend life of old turbine with existing foundation retained thus unlocking even greater potential benefit.
