Stiesdal Offshore has landed DKr9m ($1.43m) from the Danish Energy Agency to progress development of its innovative TetraSpar floating wind power concept.
The design – which recently completed model tests at the Danish Technical University (DTU) using a 1:60 scale 10MW concept turbine, is engineered around a modular floating foundation – with an eye on making use of the existing Danish wind supply chain to help drive down the capital cost of floating wind in water depths of 50 metres or more.
