FLOATGEN DEMONSTRATION OF TWO FLOATING WIND TURBINE SYSTEMS FOR POWER GENERATION IN MEDITERRANEAN DEEP WATERS
Coordinator: SIEMENS GAMESA RENEWABLE ENERGY INNOVATION & TECHNOLOGY S.L. (ES)
The objective of the FLOATGEN project is to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of two different multi-megawatt integrated floating-wind turbine systems in deep waters, never applied before to Mediterranean Sea conditions, in order to extend deep offshore wind resources and demonstrate decrease of costs for electricity generation down to competitive level. The project will also assess, compare and obtain conclusions about performance of suchtwo different combinations of wind turbine and floating structure technologies to get the knowledge to improve performance of the future re…
About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.
EU contribution: €19.6M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2013-01-01 to 2016-12-31.
