SENER to Support Iberdrola for Floating Wind Turbines
 MADRID,
Spain, Nov 23, 2009 - The Spanish company Iberdrola Renovables and SENER, Ingenieria y Sistemas, have
signed an agreement for the active participation of SENER in the R&D concerning
floating wind turbine supports, moored over deep waters -more than 50m depth-.
The project, named as Proyecto Emerge, has been promoted from the off-shore wind
projects department at Iberdrola Renovables.
The scope of the researching project includes two different phases. From
the first one, consisting on the execution of all the engineering works for
the development of the floating wind turbine supports, SENER have assumed
those regarding the marine engineering. This phase, in its turn, is divided
into two steps, being the first one devoted to the viability aspects, both
technical and commercial. This is particularly complex due to the absence of
commercial off-shore floating wind turbines nowadays.
SENER expects to have some alternative answers by December 2009, from
which a short list would be fully developed, for classification and detailed
design.
The second phase of the project -the execution of the prototypes- will
depend on the results obtained at the end of phase one.
