The UK is currently leading the offshore wind (OW) market worldwide. There is a clear need for developing new technologies that will help cut our electricity bills whilst building a UK manufacturing industry. Iberdrola has been developing an innovative floating foundation concept, TLPWIND, during the last four years to help reduce the costs of electricity from OW. The floating foundation will be moored to the seabed using a tensioned cable system that will restrict its motion almost entirely. It’s main dimensions and steel weight have been carefully optimised and its fabrication costs minimised. The TLPWIND concept enables more efficient and reduced cost transportation and installation (“T&I”) with the wind turbine being assembled onshore, in a controlled environment. This heavily reduces offshore operations and the use of expensive heavy installation vessels, and thus T&I costs. This approach is intended to de-risk offshore wind projects, particularly in the view of Insurers and Financiers, and consequently increase investor confidence and commitment to OW projects. This project aims to adapt this semi-mature concept to UK site conditions (50-60m plus) and help reduce overall LCOE.

英国目前在全球海上风电（OW）市场处于领先地位。显然需要开发新技术，帮助我们减少电费，同时建立英国制造业。Iberdrola在过去四年中一直在开发一种创新的浮动基础概念TLPWIND，以帮助降低OW的电力成本。浮动基础将使用张紧的缆绳系统系泊到海底，该缆绳系统将几乎完全限制浮动基础的运动。它的主要尺寸和钢材重量经过精心优化，制造成本最小化。TLPWIND概念使得能够在受控环境中在陆上组装风力涡轮机的情况下实现更高效且降低成本的运输和安装（“T&I”）。这大大减少了海上作业和昂贵的重型安装船的使用，从而减少了T&I成本。这种方法旨在降低海上风电项目的风险，特别是在保险公司和金融家的眼中，从而提高投资者对海上风电项目的信心和承诺。该项目旨在使这一半成熟的概念适应英国现场条件（50- 60米以上），并帮助降低整体LCOE。
