June 4, 2021 Partnering with Glosten, a design and consulting firm in the marine industry, and PelaStar, developer of the tension-leg platform floating wind turbine foundation, GE is designing and developing controls to support an offshore turbine structure that could be as large as 850+ feet. Designing the controls system with the tower and Glosten’s floating platform, and implementing a 12 MW GE turbine built with composite materials, the offshore turbines could be 35% lower in mass compared to current floating turbines, and could be used in offshore installations at depths deeper than 60...

GE unveils concept for a 12MW floating wind turbine, comparing the challenge to putting a bus on a tall pole, and then sticking it in the ocean.

Part of a two-year DOE-funded project, partners including GE and Glosten investigate lighter-weight, more economically competitive designs for offshore wind.

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 ...

GE is looking to unlock the potential of far offshore wind installations through the development of massive turbines that can operate in deeper waters, using advanced floating platforms to keep them steady as waves crash around them.
