WindFloat,
as
Principle’s
design
is
known,
underwent
a
hazard
identification
study,
which
seeks
to
identify
“what
can
go
wrong”
with
the
novel
system.
The
feedback
from
the
study
is
being
incorporated
into
Principle’s
engineering
design
as
it
seeks
“approval
in
principle”
from
ABS.
Principle
describes
WindFloat,
design
of
which
was
purchased
from
Marine
Innovation
and
Technology,
as
a
semi-submersible,
three-column
structure,
with
a
turbine
tower,
truss
and
“water
entrapment
heave
plates”
at
each
column’s
base,
designed
to
reduce
pitch
and
yaw,
and
make
the
entire
structure
smaller.
It
aims
to
support
deployment…
