METCentre & Bluewater to install floating wind system offshore Norway

Friday, October 7 2022

Wind Energy – Floating Wind

The Norwegian Marin Energi Testsenter (METCentre) and Bluewater have signed an agreement for a berth option to deploy an innovative floating wind system.

The system is planned to be installed in the North Sea offshore Karmøy, Norway and will produce renewable energy into the Norwegian electricity grid.

Bluewater has developed the Tension Leg Platform (TLP) type floating foundation to support offshore wind turbines cost effectively and this project will showcase the solution in the deeper waters of the North Sea.

The project provides the first step for the TLP to become the leading foundation technology for industrial scale floating offshore wind.

Bluewater’s floating wind TLP foundation has been developed for the industrial deployment of offshore wind turbines in floating wind farms, focussed on harsh environments with the best resource.

The TLP foundation is scalable, lightweight and supports wind turbines with minimal floater induced nacelle motions. The tension leg mooring system has a small seabed footprint providing optimal use of the sea.
