ULSAN, South Korea – Bureau Veritas (BV) has delivered an approval in principle (AiP) to Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. (HHI) for its design and development of Hi-Float, a floating offshore wind turbine foundation.
The offshore floating wind substructure Hi-Float is designed to support a 10-MW wind turbine with proven semisubmersible and mooring technology. A passive ballast system is said to ensure that risk is kept to a minimum during offshore operations.
