Saitec Launches its First Offshore Wind Medium-Scale Prototype BlueSATH

We are launching our first offshore wind medium-scale prototype: BlueSATH. This project is scheduled to go online during the first quarter of 2020 in the open sea waters of Santander (Spain) for a 12 months period after which the prototype will be completely decommissioned.

Testing will take place in real sea environment with the deployment of a 1:6 scaled prototype of a 10 MW wind turbine using SATH floating technology, acronym of Swinging Around Twin Hull, an innovative, competitive and cost efficient solution for offshore wind industry, which has been validated in several water tank tests since 2014. The main objectives of BlueSATH project cover SATH platform validation of its response and dynamic behavior. The aim is to obtain models that allow for structural... ...
