The NextFloat platform will provide the means for an in situ test of the system developed by the PAREF consortium for a minimum of two years, the consortium says.
The 6 MW floating wind prototype at the Mistral test site in France is planned to demonstrate an integrated downwind floating platform design at a relevant scale, while simultaneously advancing the scaling up of the integrated solution to up to 20+ MW scale, in preparation of commercial floating wind farms under development in Europe.
Last year, X1 Wind’s X90 6 MW pre-commercial floating wind platform was granted the Statement of Feasibility from the classification society DNV.
