JERA consortium starts Japanese floater surveys
The survey is part of the “Project to Develop Cost-Reducing Technology for TLP Floating Offshore Wind Turbines,” which the consortium was selected to conduct by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) under its Green Innovation Fund program, and aims to understand the geotechnical structure and other characteristics of the seabed, which are necessary in setting the design parameters of TLP floating offshore wind turbines.
The consortium will move forward in conducting surveys and studying plans in anticipation of future verification testing of power generation using TLP floating offshore wind turbines.
In formulating plans for verification testing, the Consortium will continue to consult with local fishing industry, residents, government administrations, and other stakeholders to ensure their understanding.
