TX-Wind TLP Type Floating Wind Platform

TX-Wind platform is a TLP type floating foundation developed for a deep water application. 

•

X-shape hull to accommodate the variation of buoyancy due to a high water level

change and to reduce yaw motions effectively at a very deep water

•

Vertically moored to support a small to large turbine

•

The TX-Wind design with a 6MW turbine was confirmed for a Hawaiian offshore site

at 1,000 m water depth

•

Implemented an innovative low-cost tendon connector

•

Results presented in an international conference
