Application in details

Seawind technology is a two-bladed wind turbine with an oscillating hinge.

Seawind has developed patented twin-bladed floating wind turbines integrated with a unique concrete floating structure that they claim is suitable for installation in all seas, including cyclonic areas and ultra-deep waters. Seawind's twin-bladed turbines can last up to 50 years and can operate in these adverse conditions with minimal maintenance requirements. The turbines are assembled in the harbour using onshore cranes and no installation vessels are required.

Scalability

The 6 MW Seawind turbine is ideal for small islands and coastal communities that wish to generate low-carbon renewable energy on their own. The design can withstand wind speeds of up to 325 km/h, making it an ideal solution for cyclonic regions.
