-
Designed to optimise energy production for a floating wind power plant
-
Designed for easy operations and maintenance
-
Elevator based turbine installation – all heavy operations performed on deck
-
No need for specialized vessels or cranes
-
-
50 year design life
-
Power to X – production and storage
Wind Catcher has an integrated substation
Turret and mooring using well known technology from O&G industry, ocean bottom impact reduced through high unit production. Integrated substation in “mother vessel”, connecting all units and export to land.

Radically reducing LCOE for floating wind
-
Delivers electricity at Grid Parity now
-
Significant scaleability for future reductions
-
One Wind Catching unit produces enough electricity for 80.000 European households
-
Five Wind Catching units can produce the same amount of electricity as 25 conventional turbines

Energy scales exponentially with wind speed. Conventional turbines limits energy output above 11-12 m/s by pitching the blades.
Utilizing the full energy in higher wind speeds and the multirotor effect, the Windcatcher generate 2.5x more annual energy per swept area than a conventional turbine.
Having double the swept area of a conventional 15 MW wind turbine, one Windcatching unit will generate 5x the annual energy production.
