TELWIND-Integrated Telescopic tower combined with an evolved spar floating substructure for low-cost deep water offshore wind and next generation of 10 MW+ wind turbines

摘要

Levelised Cost of Energy (LCoE) is a main design driver for offshore wind turbines in deeper water. The presented evolved spar floating foundation combined with a Telescopic tower will reduce the costs of offshore wind. The objective is to design a revolutionary integrated floating substructure concept which shall enable a radical step forward for cost-effective and industrially deployable deep water offshore wind. The research and development activities within this project are executed by a strong multidisciplinary team of 8 project partners, funded by the European Commission in a Horizon2020 program.
