Principle Power’s semi-submersible platform will play a big role in the early market for floating offshore wind, as a spate of projects gets set to enter the water. The floating offshore wind market looks likely to be dominated by semi-submersible platforms despite the early lead taken by Equinor using spar-buoy technology. Figures collated by the […]
Floating Offshore Wind Holds Promise for Vertical-Axis Turbines
Vertical-axis wind turbines have failed to make a dent in the thriving global wind energy business. But proponents say the technology may be well suited to the emerging floating offshore market. Long relegated to the margins of the wind industry, vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) could get a new lease of life on floating platforms. Swedish […]
