AIMPLAS Participates in FLOTANT Project

Wind farms are a clean, sustainable and independent way to produce electricity on land, and offshore wind farms are becoming increasingly more common.

This second type actually produces energy more efficiently, but the current technology for implementing them involves higher installation and maintenance costs. Also, when there are no offshore locations far enough from the coast at the right water depth (less than 60 metres) where the wind turbine can be anchored directly to the seabed, more expensive systems must be used such as mooring, anchoring and floating structures. To provide a solution to these problems, AIMPLAS is participating in the FLOTANT project, which aims to develop a solution for installing marine wind farms in water depths of 100 to 600 metres, with... ...
