Hexicon<\/a> is collaborating with Innowind (as well as regular turbine manufacturers) to provide a stable platform for multiple-turbine-platform modules to build off-shore wind farms.<\/p>\nTheir stable hexagonal platform would make repairs and maintenance at off-shore wind farms easier, because they are accessible. Work crews could be docked by boat and helicopters could land on the rigs.<\/p>\n
In addition, wave energy underneath could also be accessed under these floating platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Norway’s Innowind and Sweden’s Hexicon are collaborating on a unique floating 60 MW wind farm concept, which is now under review by the UK’s renewable energy industry research giant Garrad Hassan.
