WIND2POWER
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
W2Power is the first floating wind platform in Spanish waters and the first multi-turbine platform in the world to reach this level of technological development (TRL6) in the open sea.
Details
of the project
Name: W2POWER – Floating wind power platform
Client: PLOCAN
Location: Canary Islands
Year of development: 2020
Narrative description of the project
The patented W2Power solution offers, through two 6MW wind turbines per platform, a higher power generation capacity without the need for increased use of steel in its construction, thus becoming the lowest cost floating solution for wind power generation in deep waters.
W2Power also allows, in countries such as Japan where fishing is of special importance, the innovative incorporation of an aquaculture facility into the platform itself.

Scope of Ghenova's work
GHENOVA has designed, calculated and built in ASTICAN the complete structure of this prototype within the framework of the WIP 10+ project, co-financed by CDTI and the EC (Eranet-Demowind).
