Floating wind's second Japanese test

Ideol, with the use of uploading a photo, announced that its second floating offshore wind turbine demonstrator in Japan is ready to towed to sea for testing.

Ideol already has two floating demonstrators, built locally in France and Japan. Ideol’s patented technology is designed to operate with both current and future large-scale wind turbines.

The project, led by NEDO, aims to redesign Japan's energy mix following the fukushima disaster. To do so reducing the cost of floating technology by 2020 is one of the priorities of Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI).

Ideol's scope of work on the project is the design and engineering of the two foundations being tested, one of which is in steel, the other concrete. Not only this but, also the support for construction and installation of one of the demonstrators.
