FLAGSHIP. Floating Offshore Wind Optimization for Commercialization

FLAGSHIP aims to reduce the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) for floating offshore wind to the range 40-60 €/MWh by 2030. FLAGSHIP project will develop and fabricate the first 10 MW Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) assembled on a floating semi-submersible concrete structure in the Norwegian North Sea.

The implementation in real environment is essential to bring the technology demonstration to the required commercial maturity level. Thus, the project will build a robust and innovative semi-submersible concrete floating platform that includes an easy-to-install anchorage design, innovative mooring designs and configurations, as well as new cable designs with optimized installation and life management procedures.

CENER leads the Work Package 2 for wind turbine design and control. Some of the most relevant tasks of this work package include: the fine-tuning of the wind turbine control, the design of the tower, owner’s engineering in the integration of the FOWT’s components: wind turbine, platform and mooring, the remote monitoring strategy during operation, the development of the Digital Twin that will allow the integration of the virtual model and real turbine.
