Cost reductions remain a crucial necessity for existing or new technologies.
Cost reductions remain a crucial necessity for existing or new technologies. FLOTANT will develop a cost competitive integrated wind energy system with a LCOE lower than 120€/MWh by 2025 and
Low erenvironmental impacts
Low erenvironmental impacts. Reduction of the materials employed in the FOW components. Recycling and reusing techniques will be investigated to minimize footprint. Anti-fouling and anti-bite additives will be developed to
Proposals with technologies from TRL 3-4 to TRL 4-5
Proposals with technologies from TRL 3-4 to TRL 4-5. FLOTANT project technologies starting from TRL 3-4 will achieve at the end of the project TRL 4-5 based on testings and
O&M concepts
O&M concepts Predictive O&M algorithms will be developed to minimize the corrective O&M costs. Use of non-corrosive materials, anti-fouling additives, non-complex and prefabricated structures and non mechanical system to maintain
Installation techniques
Installation techniques. Improved construction and installation techniques will be developed, reducing logistics costs, installation and commissioning. The technology developed will enable easy transport of the full unit (foundation plus mast,
Technology development including reliable, sustainable and cost-efficient highly dynamic cables
Technology development including reliable, sustainable and cost-efficient highly dynamic cables. Dynamic power cables between floating platforms and the seabed have to cross the splash zone and are thus subjected to
Technology development including reliable, sustainable and cost-efficient anchoring and mooring system
Technology development including reliable, sustainable and cost-efficient anchoring and mooring system. Deeper waters mean longer mooring tethers and FLOTANT will develop light weight reliable, sustainable and cost-efficient mooring solutions. The
