As the industry moves deeper, floating will be key part of the
solution and Floating Semi-Sub technology is competitive >40m
The WindFloat
design is predicated
on well-established
and proven offshore
oil & gas
semisubmersible
platform
technologies.
The
Semisubmersible
Semi-Sub TLP Spar technology is viable
Monopile Jacket/Tripod Floating in all types of water
Floating Structures depths above >40m
0-30m, 1-2 25-40m, 2-5 Structures
>120m, 5-10MW
MW MW >40m, 5-10MW

Financing Entities are already seeing the large paradigm shift it
represents in terms of Reduction of Cost and Risk
Cost Risk
Reduce Environmental Marine Spread / Existing
Impact and Geotechnical Vessels
Requirements
Lower Interface Risk with
Flexible Site Location / Water
Reduction offshore contractor
Depth independence of Cost &
Lower Weather Dependence
Serial Production Risk
Return to Shore for
Quayside Commissioning and Unanticipated Maintenance
WTG Installation
Now implementing demonstration scale projects, with state of the
art turbines and optimized designs
