Thanks to the continous improvements based on results from research like extensive wind & wave tank tests, the GICON ®-SOF is ready to prove its capacities in a full scale multi-megawatt prototype. The paper will present the preliminary design of the so called GICON - Tension Leg Platform (TLP) as an innovative foundation concept for floating offshore. These tests included the towing of the SOF using the. design of the floating system called GICON-Tension Leg Platform (TLP) is meant to. O&M strategy (O&M basis, heavy maintenance philosophy) Early Works Agreements (conceptual. : A 1:50 scale model of the GICON® SOF (Floating Offshore Foundation) was exposed to tank tests for transport and installation process experiments from 17th to 27th September 2018 at the SSPA Maritime Dynamics Laboratory in Gothenburg, Sweden. Both types, fixed and floating foundations, will play a major role in. The R&D project started in 2009 and includes renowned partners such as TU Bergakademie Freiberg (Freiberg Technical University and Mining Academy), Rostock University and Fraunhofer IWES. Optimisation of wind farm overall architecture. The selected design was the PelaStar TLP developed by Glosten, Inc., of Seattle, Washington, USA. This makes GICON one of the global development leaders for floating offshore wind substructures. energy (LCOE) associated with the TLP concept, particularly as applied in United Kingdom waters. GICON’s SOF development provides a floating substructure for offshore wind turbines which can be deployed in water depths of 45 to 350 meters and more while achieving LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) of 5 to 8 € cent / kWh. The GICON ®-SOF floating offshore substructure provides an ideal solution for these challenges. Approximately 75% of the global offshore wind potential is located in areas with water depths greater than 30 meters at least two-thirds are in water depths greater than 50 meters. Another question of vital significance for the industry is the development of projects in deeper water with high wind yields. A TLP wind turbine has since been installed off the coast of Puglia. It is therefore crucial for the offshore wind industry to minimize these costs and risks. The various, proposed conceptual designs for floating platforms used for floating.
Current construction of classic offshore wind turbines is, however, associated with enormous technical, environmental and financial challenges. floating foundation solutions therefore strongly be-lieve that floating technology not only addresses the environmental and technology issues but also the cost issues, especially for water depths beyond 40 meters. Offshore wind power is one of the most important backbones of a sustainable energy supply. GICONs SOF development provides a floating substructure for offshore wind turbines which can be deployed in water depths of 45 to 350 meters and more while. A TECHNICAL RESPONSE TO THE OFFSHORE WIND INDUSTRY'S CHALLENGES GOING FORWARD influence on the concept, design or method used in marine operations.
