GE Researchers Unveil 12 MW Floating Wind Turbine Concept Highlights $4 MM Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) ATLANTIS project during ARPA-E’s Virtual Innovation Summit Project involves the design and development of optimized controls that could enable future offshore turbines 35% lower in mass compared to current designs for floating offshore turbines Floating Turbines would open up possibility for offshore installations at depths beyond >60m Would dramatically expand potentia...

GE is partnering with Glosten, the developer of the PelaStar tension-leg platform floating wind turbine foundation, as part of an ongoing US research project funded by ARPA-E. The companies are working together as part of the $4m project, supported through the Aerodynamic Turbines Lighter and Afloat with Nautical Technologies and Integrated Servo-control (ATLANTIS) programme, to design and develop controls to support a 12MW floating offshore wind turbine. Rogier Blom, the project’s principal ...
