VIDEO: ETI Offshore Wind Programme Manager Talks about Floating Wind Turbine Project

The Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) has selected The Glosten Associates as the company which will design its offshore wind floating platform system demonstrator.

Glosten, a US-based naval architecture and marine engineering firm, will design a tension leg platform (TLP) by developing what is commonly known as a Front End Engineering Design Study (FEED.)

The PelaStar TLP prototype will be developed in partnership with Alstom using their Haliade 150-6MW offshore wind turbine.

In this video Andrew Scott, Offshore Wind Programme Manager at the ETI talks about this project.
