FLOTANT validates dynamic cable design
Official Press Release FLOTANT:
Dynamic cable design validated for floating offshore wind use
FLOTANT - an EUHorizon 2020-funded project - has successfully completed the validation of an innovative dynamic cable concept for deepwater floating wind projects, unlocking the potential for greater wind power resources at lower cost.
The project consortium aims to develop conceptual and basic engineering for a hybrid concrete-plastic floating windfarm, looking at innovative solutions for anchoring and mooring systems, and dynamic cabling, including performance testing. Its objective is to improve cost-efficiency and increase robustness and flexibility in floating wind subsea design for deeper waters from 100 to 600 meters. Consortium partners Innosea, an AqualisBraemar LOC Group ASA (ABL Group) company, Hellenic Cables, ITA and University of Exeter have... ... More: Official Press Release FLOTANT
