Projects (Research Objective)

The joint research and technological development, mainly for the following common challenging technological areas for floating offshore wind power generation. We will also work on overseas collaboration and international standardization to promote technological development.
※We fully comply with antitrust/overseas competition laws and ensure a legal compliance system that does not contravene any laws and regulations.

  • Development of optimum design standard and methodology for floating offshore wind systems.
  • Development of technology for high-volume/high-speed production of floating systems
  • Development of technologies for the mooring and anchoring in deep water.
  • Development of power transmission technologies in deep water.
  • Development of methods for observing wind conditions in far offshore.
  • Other surveys and research activities for Common R&D of floating offshore wind systems.
