Denmark-based NKT has joined the TAILWIND venture, an educational and enterprise collaboration launched final month, that goals at advancing station-keeping applied sciences to keep up the place of floating offshore wind farms.
The corporate says it was invited to affix the consortium as a result of its expertise with dynamic cables, which might be included with the mooring applied sciences and platform designs developed by TAILWIND.
“I’m proud that NKT is a part of the TAILWIND venture,” says Anders Jensen, CTO of NKT. “Advancing the event of floating offshore wind is a vital subsequent step within the inexperienced transition. It would require technological developments from all stakeholders, together with energy cables. We consider our dynamic cables will play an necessary function right here and stay up for them integrating into the opposite new applied sciences which can be being developed for floating wind on this venture.”
The TAILWIND consortium consists by: NGI, TU Delft, Danmarks Tekniske Universitet, SINTEF Ocean, Fundación Tecnalia Analysis & Innovation, Nautilus Floating Options, Bekaert Wire Rope Business, Subsea 7 Norway, Fondazione ICONS, Clarke Modet Y Compania S.L., NKT Cables Group, Bridon Worldwide and College of Southampton.
The venture is funded by the EU’s Horizon program.
