VALEMO supports EOLE STAB in the development of an innovative floating wind turbine

VALEMO is supporting EOLE STAB in its 1/10-scale prototype project for a floating wind turbine, which aims to validate an innovative, patented solution based on an annular concrete caisson topped by an openwork mast with low wave drag.

This innovative technology, featuring tensioned line anchoring, promises to remove the economic, technical and industrial hurdles to high-power floating offshore wind turbines, notably by optimizing production costs and accelerating platform deployment sequences.

For this project, which will be installed in Toulon harbor, VALEMO is participating in the selection of the turbine and the definition of the monitoring system to validate the performance of this new float.

Following conclusive tank trials at the SEATECH engineering school, EOLE STAB is working on the prototype, and plans to deploy a ½-scale demonstrator to validate the technology technically and economically.

VALEMO is delighted to support, on its own scale, the various players in the floating offshore wind energy sector, who are constantly innovating to meet the challenges of the energy transition.
