NAUTILUS - Validation and Design for sea testing of a semi-submersible structure for floating offshore wind turbines

COVERAGEleads the NAUTILUS project within the framework of the program“Collaboration Challenges”from MINECO.

The project, which is being carried out during the years 2014-2016, has the collaboration of the companies Astilleros Murueta, Tamoin, Vicinay Marine and the TECNALIA Technology Centre.

Goals:

The overall objective of this collaboration is the development of a floating structure for offshore wind that allows for a reduction in the cost of the energy generated, as well as its demonstration in the open sea and its subsequent commercialization.

Others:

During the project, the validation at scale and subsequent full-scale design of a cost-competitive floating structure for offshore wind turbines is carried out, which can be manufactured and installed using conventional means.

Project funded by:

Project funded by the program“Collaboration Challenges of the State Program for Research, Development and Innovation geared towards the challenges of society”, from the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness.
