Floating Offshore Wind
The next frontier in offshore renewables is the development of floating wind farms, requiring substructures that can withstand severe ocean storms for at least 25 years. Despite the potential, the complex fabrication and installation of these substructures have hindered commercialization. Inventocean addresses this challenge with a hybrid offshore wind turbine platform that is easy to fabricate, tow to the site, and self-install, eliminating the need for specialized vessels and reducing installation costs. The platform uses mooring chains and polyester lines in deeper waters and rests on the seabed with ballast in shallower areas. This intelligent design allows for adaptation to various water depths. The platform’s modular construction, comprising 45 identical blocks each weighing approximately 60 MT, facilitates efficient industrial-scale fabrication, akin to automobile manufacturing. This approach democratizes the offshore wind market by enabling smaller shipyards in developing countries to produce simple blocks, ensuring quality and lowering costs, which can then be assembled in developed nations. This innovative solution by Inventocean promises to revolutionize offshore wind energy production.
