Shared anchors and cost reduction
Published on 13/01/2025
After the deployment of demonstrators and small farms of floating wind turbines, the next step will be commercial farms leading to a reflexion on the mooring systems to be used for cost efficiency.
The JIP MUTANC studied the potential of shared anchor to reduce the LCOE of floating offshore wind farms with the help of hydrodynamic, geotechnical, and cost analyses.
The resultats were presented during a final webinar which held on 4 February. All presentations are now available:
