SWACH Wind
Unique value proposition (UVP)
The SWACH Wind (Small Waterplane Area Cylindrical Hull) design is a cylindrical floating foundation for offshore wind turbines. The solution is scalable up to the largest wind turbines and offers excellent motion characteristics in harsh conditions with a lifetime that can be designed for 50 years’ operation. The design consists of a simple construction with identical blocks, i.e. the fabrication can be spread to several sites. It has a shallow draft for quayside installation of tower and turbine. Fabrication in concrete is being evaluated as an alternative to steel. The design has been model tested at TCOMS in Singapore and numerical models are being calibrated towards model test results. https://sevandwt.com/swach-wind/
Key Benefits
- The SWACH Wind design provides exceptional stability and durability for offshore wind turbines, supporting the largest turbines in the industry for up to 50 years, even in harsh marine environments.
- Its modular construction with identical blocks allows for fabrication at multiple sites, simplifying logistics and reducing costs through scalable deployment.
- The shallow draft enables quayside installation of the tower and turbine, significantly cutting down on offshore assembly time and minimizing installation risks and expenses.
