Objectives:

1. Optimize and qualify to TRL of 5, two (2) innovative substructures designs for 10MW turbines

2. Develop a streamlined and KPI based methodology for the evaluation and qualification process of floating substrucures

Focus:

• Floating wind turbines installed in water depths from 50m to 200m

• Offshore wind farms of large wind turbines (10MW) – identified to be the most effective way of reducing cost of energy in short term
