Riviera News Content Hub Weathervaning Floater Gets Backing From Weathervaning floater gets backing from innoenergy 17 jul 2018 by david foxwell the developer of a unique platform for floating offshore wind turbines has signed an agreement with sustainable energy supporter innoenergy that will help it continue the development of its platform. The x1 wind floating wind concept is based on a weathervaning tension leg platform with a downwind turbine and innovative pivotbuoy single point mooring system. the concept allows for a lighter floater with significantly less steel than many alternative concepts. the mooring system also minimises impacts on seabed.
Riviera News Content Hub Long Delayed Floater To Go Ahead After Ppa X1 wind is preparing to deploy its pivotbuoy floating wind technology in the canary islands after completing assembly and load out of a fully functional prototype. the prototype was developed through the €4.0m (us$4.8m) project awarded by the european commission h2020 programme. The innovative floater uses an isostatic three legged structural design with a low center of gravity. unlike a conventional cantilever tower configuration, it is not subject to bending moments at the tower base. the design uses a truss structure not only to reduce weight but to minimize wind turbulence and wave loading on the structure. This project will design, develop and test the pivotbuoy, an innovative single point mooring system with the potential to allow floating wind technology to reduce structural and installation costs while operating safely and reliably in harsh ocean conditions reliably. Weathervaning weathervaning is the process by which a floating structure adapts its heading in response to time varying environmental actions. the large majority of production systems weathervane passively, i.e. without the use of active (i.e. energy consuming) systems such as thrusters. the alternative to a weathervaning system is a system.
