Abstract

Industrialization of floating wind technology is key for future cost reductions to become competitive. Within the scope of the LIFES50+ H2020 research project, the floating-specific constraints with respect to fabrication, assembly and installation for different floating substructure concepts are investigated for large future 10MW floating wind turbines and 500MW wind farms. The presented study focusses on three selected LIFES50+ sites in the Scottish North Sea, French Mediterranean and Gulf of Maine. General constraints are identified, which are not specific for a certain proprietary concept, but depending on the material, concept type, fabrication, assembly and installation procedures and site location.
