Modular Helical Anchoring Technology
As floating offshore renewable energy technologies, including wind, solar and ocean energy devices, move towards commercial-scale deployment, anchoring and mooring systems are becoming increasingly important. Anchors and moorings represent 10–15% [1] of total capital expenditure in floating wind farms and have a significant influence on foundation design, energy performance, maintenance requirements and decommissioning. Inadequate anchor selection or configuration can lead to increased costs, technical inefficiencies and permitting delays.
