SENSEWind has selected SM Industries (formerly Valmont) to produce a first-of-its-kind, triple rail wind turbine tower for its flagship 2 MW onshore demonstration project – a single turbine plan partially funded by UK Government (BEIS) FOW grant scheme.
Opinion: Solving the Tow-Back Challenge in Floating Wind
![Opinion Tow](https://sensewind.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/2022_12_15-opinion-tow-back1.png)
On the O&M side of things, based on evidence generated from a series of industry engagements, BVG Associates estimate* that a future 1 GW floating wind farm of 70 turbines would plan for at least seven major component exchanges per annum in early post-warranty years.
DNV predicts that floating wind will generate 264 GW, or 15% of all offshore wind energy, by 2050.

The offshore wind industry would be well served to sharpen its focus toward installation and O&M technology advances designed with floating wind in mind. Now is the time to put promising on-site solutions, like SENSE technology, through their paces – before the jump to industrial scale.
Are self-installing wind turbine technologies the answer to avoiding tow-to-shore?

Great article by Heidi Vella in reNEWS – Renewable Energy News this week looking at a number of the technologies (including SENSEWind) being developed to address the challenge of self installing wind turbines for #floatingoffshorewind. It’s clear that ‘tow back’ is not a viable option for O&M.
