GE Unveils 12 MW Floating Wind Turbine Concept | Off Grid En

GE researchers unveiled details of an ongoing two-year, $4 MM project through the ARPA-E's ATLANTIS (Aerodynamic Turbines Lighter and Afloat with Nautical Technologies and Integrated Servo-control) program to design and develop advanced controls to support a 12 MW Floating Offshore Wind Turbine. GE is partnering on the project with Glosten, one of the leading design and consulting firms in the marine industry, and the developer of the PelaStar tension-leg platform floating wind turbine foundation.
 
Rogier Blom, a Senior Principal Engineer in Model-Based Controls and the project's principal investigator, says the enormity of building a floating platform that can support a structure as massive as an 850+ ft. offshore turbine cannot be understated, stating,
