Speaker: Juri Wanschura Hochschule Flensburg - English for Engineers
Definition: Floating Foundation

Floating Foundations for Offshore Wind Turbines
are not fixed to the ground.
Their Buoyancy keeps them stabilized.
Chains connected to the floating structure are laid

out and anchored in the seabed so that they are
protected against drifting.

Agenda
1. Motivation – Why Floating Foundations?
2. Types of Floating Foundations
3. Drafts, Projects and Prototypes
4. Costs/Risks – Floating Foundations
5. Future Perspective
6. Sources

1. Why Floating Foundations – Europe?
1. Exploiting windy areas with high water depths
2. Floating Foundations are becoming ever more mature
3. Costs will fall due to steadily increasing learning effects
4. Good networking and cooperation in Europe
5. Europe has the chance to become a leader in this field

1. Europe’s Key Targets achievable by 2030 through expansion of

floating wind farms
Which are…
• At least 40% cuts in greenhouse gas emissions (from 1990 levels)
• At least 32% share for renewable energy
• At least 32.5% improvement in energy efficiency

• 38% cost reduction by 2050
expected
• 50% by 2050 may be possible

according to IEA floating offshore
wind experts
• Detailed analysis and fast learning
/21/

/21/
• Reduce manufacturing costs of semi subs
• Reduction of installation time through experience and

design as well as towing time
• TLP Design should be self-stabilising during the towing

process

/21/ • Mating process at Spar buoy
• Learning from projects like Hywind Scotland
• Development Testing of new cabling options and

connections
• Development of deep water substations with integrated

offshore transmission modules (OTMs)
