(Image: GE Research) GE researchers are working on a project to design and develop advanced controls to support a 12-megawatt (MW) floating offshore wind turbine, in an effort to enable larger, more powerful turbines to be installed deeper waters unlocked by floating wind technologies. The $4 million project is being run through ARPA-E’s ATLANTIS (Aerodynamic Turbines Lighter and Afloat with Nautical Technologies and Integrated Servo-control) program, which aims to accelerate the development of new technologies to promote the future of floating offshore wind energy.

Over the past 20 years, wind power has become an important component in America’s renewables mix. Wind farms have sprouted in many parts of the country, and now they are starting to move offshore. Just two weeks ago, for example, the U.S.

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 potential of US offshore wind resources to more than 7,000 TeraWatt hours (TWh) per year, nearly double the ...
