A unique floating offshore wind demonstration project has been announced for Norway, which will use Swedish wind developer Hexicon’s new system of pairing two wind turbines atop a floating platform.
The demonstration project will be built at Metcentre’s deep-water area off the coast of Norway. Metcentre, short for Marine Energy Test Centre, is a world leading North Sea test centre for testing new marine renewable energy technologies such as floating wind power, floating solar energy, and wave energy technologies.
Metcentre has applied for consent to develop its deep-water area to 85MW, while the Hexicon demonstration project is expected to be 6MW.
Japanese developer Tepco Renewable Power has joined the consortium of companies preparing to launch a demo of Stiesdal Offshore Technology s TetraSpar concept off Norway.
Tepco has taken a 30% stake in the demonstration project, which will see a TetraSpar base supporting a 3.6MW Siemens Gamesa turbine installed at the Marine Energy Test Centre off Stavanger this summer.
The other shareholders of the project are Shell (46.2%), RWE (23.1%) and Stiesdal Offshore Technologies (0.7%).
Tepco President Seiichi Fubasami said he was very happy the company has joined the demo.
“The TetraSpar technology can also be utilized in Japan s natural conditions and a more efficient supply chain can be established closer to the project sites,” he said.
