TAI Offshore Windfarm System (TOWS)
Patented buoyant-tower platform design for deep-water offshore wind turbines, scalable to larger turbines and water depths up to 300 m.
Description
The TAI Offshore Windfarm System (TOWS) is a patent-protected design for deep-water wind turbine installations. Its Buoyant Tower substructure is based on proven oil and gas spar platform technology, and the design is flexible in terms of water depth and environment.
Key features
- Scalable to larger turbines and deeper water (up to 300 m)
- Tower designed to be towed out in one piece
- Lower mass than a TLB, spar-buoy or semi-submersible
- Each offshore installation estimated to be completed in less than one week, and can be performed in an assembly-line fashion
- Varying-depth tower design using ballast
- Flexible control system design adaptable to different environmental conditions and tower, nacelle and blade configurations
- Taut guy mooring system and an installation vessel design flexible enough to support different offshore installations
- Cost models developed for various turbine payloads and water depths
Applications
Deep-water offshore wind farm projects.
