FRP Monopile Technology
-
The concept combines fixed and floating platform technologies for applications up to 100 meters water depth
-
The monopile and moorings restrain motions in all degrees of freedoms (DOFs)
FIELD PROVEN MOORINGS SYSTEM
-
Taut moorings with pile anchors or
-
Taut mooring with suction piles
MAIN COMPONENTS
-
Monopile with air-can (AC) in one piece
-
Transition piece (TP) with load ring
-
Mooring system
FIELD PROVEN INSTALLATION METHODS
-
Existing vessels can install the foundation, tower and turbine in up to 65 meter water depth while working around the mooring system
-
Vessels for 80m will soon be available
