HyStOH

Self-aligning floating wind turbine has deep water potential

Within the framework of the joint HyStOH project, a self-aligning wind turbine has been developed. The concept, consisting of a simple, cost-effective, lightweight installation with low environmental impact, was optimised at the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) by extensive numerical simulations and model tank tests. The project is funded by Germany’s Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy.
