Unique Solution
Our technology differentiators
Mooring layout demonstrator
Mooring
An efficient mooring layout optimizes space, scaling & costs
Why is it important:
- Optimal power output of available space at sea
- Connecting multiple platforms allows for scaling
- Less mooring lines per plant reduce installation costs
How did we solve it:
- Low mooring forces due to floater design
- Mooring around all edges
- Platforms which can be coupled at sea
- Based on offshore heritage from floating oil rigs up to modern floating offshore wind solutions
Electrical system
A durable electrical system reduces cost & improves performance
Why is it important:
- Durability of the electrical system is key for its performance
- Reduced maintenance costs due to lower OPEX
How did we solve it:
- Elevated electrical and solar panel system, allow for:
- Low probability of panel micro cracks due to water impacts
- No electrical cable fatigue and corrosion due to elevated system
- COTS modules
- Effortless electricity connections between platforms
- Additional power output by cooling effect at sea
- East west configuration for optimal power output per area
Elevated electrical system
Safe Access and Offshore quality walkways and fences, allow for safe maintenance at sea
Access & Safety
All assets require operations. Safety & ease of use are key
Why is it important:
- Offshore asset owners require safe operations at sea
Criteria:
- Offshore Maritime standards
How did we solve it:
- Offshore elevated & rigid walkways for safe crew access
- Low motions of platform ensure safety is met even in rough seas
- Easy and safe access between platforms due to ingenious coupling
- Low slipping risk ensured by FRP grating
- Safety fence included on platforms – obvious but overlooked by competition
Low maintenance
In products that need to last decades, maintenance requirements matter
Why is it important:
- Maintenance on offshore floating plants should be minimized and otherwise be designed for.
How did we solve it:
- 10-degree tilt allows for self-cleaning
- Offshore grade corrosion protected aluminium frame ensures system will withstand corrosion for 30+ years
- Elevated systems allows for low salt deposit on panels
- Small floater surface area minimizes marine growth
- Floaters designed to be unburdened by some marine fouling
Open system allows airflow & sunshine
Enviromental impact
While we create clean energy, we want to ensure marine life safety
Why is it important:
- To have a minimal impact on the ecology the design should minimize air and sun light blockage
How did we solve it:
- Elevated systems allows for air transmission
- Open grating allows for sun light transmission below platform
Easy scalability
Rapid growth requires an easily & cost efficiently scalable design
Why is it important:
- To reduce cost the system should be scalable and easy to assemble
How did we solve it:
- All parts can be containerized
- Efficient design allows for part or sub-system manufacturing at suppliers
- Local Lean Pop-Up factory can handle assembly
- Design requires simple means of assembly, easily performed local employees
- Easy installation with small workboats
