Innovative ways to float skyscraper-sized wind turbines
Six innovative ways to float skyscraper-sized wind turbines are becoming the focus of the sector because most wind blows above deep water...
In this case, the turbines are supported by floating structures that bob and sway in response to waves and wind and are moored with chains and anchored to the seafloor. This is becoming the focus of the sector for the simple reason that most wind blows above deep water, where building fixed platforms would be too expensive or simply impossible. BW Ideol/ V. Joncheray Barges are wide, shallow platforms that use buoyancy far from the centre of the structure to counteract the wind force on the tower.
