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:
1
Triton will develop a pilot-scale anchor prototype for demonstration through the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) New Technology Qualification (NTQ) Process.
2
The project objective is to receive an ABS Type Approval at the end of the NTQ Prototype Validation Stage.
