Project overview:

Innovative Anchoring System for Floating Offshore Wind

Awardee:

Triton Systems, Inc.

Start Date:

Q4, 2020

Technical Challenge Area:

Floating Structure Engineering

Completion Date:

Q2, 2023

Synopsis:

In order to address the challenges associated with anchoring floating offshore wind turbines, Triton is developing a novel offshore wind turbine anchoring system. The technology operationalizes the use of a helical-structured anchor to meet floating offshore wind requirements while reducing fabrication and installation costs.

Target Outcomes:

Triton will develop a pilot-scale anchor prototype for demonstration through the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) New Technology Qualification (NTQ) Process.

The project objective is to receive an ABS Type Approval at the end of the NTQ Prototype Validation Stage.
