SBM - Offshore Wind
SBM Offshore has entered into a technical development collaboration with IFPEN, a leading French research and innovation organization in the field of offshore wind energy, to develop an innovative floating structure for offshore wind turbines.
Details
The collaboration combines strong offshore and wind engineering capabilities to provide an innovative floating system for the economic development of floating wind farms.
The floater solution is light and modular, has low motions and accelerations at nacelle level, and requires no construction or port infrastructure. Easily installable with light and standard means, the floater also has a reduced seabed footprint and is simple to decommission, leading to a competitive cost of energy.
The solution has reached an advanced stage of development. SBM Offshore is targeting floating wind pilot projects, particularly in France, which is taking significant steps to develop the floating wind industry.
SBM Offshore has been selected by EDF Renewables to provide its proprietary floating wind solution (supporting 8 MW wind turbines) for a pilot project to be installed in the Mediterranean Sea. The project is subject to achieving committed financing, which would result in a contract to include engineering, procurement, construction and installation services for three floating systems to be installed offshore France.
