Wind Catching with a different approach

  • 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

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
 

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.
