Next Generation Integrated Floating Wind Optimized for Deep Waters

A competitive and sustainable integrated FOW solution optimized for deep waters that will contribute to accelerate the rate of deployment of floating offshore wind

NextFloat is an awarded project by the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Program. It proposes a disruptive, fully integrated floating offshore wind system that brings several benefits. This will be achieved with a structurally efficient platform with a TLP mooring system, specifically designed for floating wind integrated with a 2-bladed downwind turbine.

Objectives

NextFloat’s main objective is to demonstrate a competitive and sustainable integrated floating offshore wind (FOW) solution optimized for deep waters that will contribute to reduce levelized cost of energy and accelerate the rate of deployment of floating offshore wind.

To achieve these goals, the following specific objectives:

Technology

NextFloat proposes a disruptive system specifically developed for floating wind to bring cost-efficiency improvements to the dynamic cable by using aluminum as a conductor material.
