OO-Star Wind Floater – Benefits of Lifes50+

  • Upscaling to 10MW
  • Benchmarking with other developers
  • Common design requirements
  • Adapted floater to three sites
  • Basin and wind tunnel tests
  • Further development of cost estimates and

fabrication scheme

  • Third party evaluations of the floater
  • Collaboration with other industry experts and

research institutions

  • Turbine controller adaption

OO Star Wind Floater - Substructure cost

Mild Hs=7m Medium Hs=11 Harsh Hs=15

Trendline indicates 30% reduced floater cost per MW from 8 to 16, from scaling effects alone
