Principle Power, a world leader in floating wind technology, has launched two new semi-submersible floating wind foundation designs: the WindFloat TC (tubular, center column) and the WindFloat FC (flat panel, center column). These new platforms represent a natural evolution of existing platforms, combining proven features to support wind turbines located on a central column.

Principle Power expands its portfolio with WindFloat TC and FC
The new designs are intended to complement the existing perimeter column designs and share the same fourth-generation design architecture. They include the innovative Smart Hull Trim system, which maximizes annual energy production and reduces structural loads. In addition, they feature fatigue-resistant architecture and a compact design, optimized for large turbines over 15 MW.
Principle Power stresses the importance of flexibility in the offshore wind industry. offshore wind energy industry. These modular designs are designed to work with a wide variety of turbine models and adapt to different supply chain preferences. Julian Arrillaga Costa, CEO of Principle Power, emphasizes that these new designs demonstrate the company’s proven expertise in bankable, commercial-scale project-ready solutions.
New designs ready to challenge ocean conditions
The incorporation of the WindFloat TC and WindFloat FC WindFloat TC and WindFloat FC designs designs reinforces Principle Power’s commitment to offer viable solutions for any project context. With a vision focused on standardization and the global deployment of 300 floating turbines by 2030, the company seeks to establish itself as a key supplier in the offshore wind market.
On the other hand, Aaron Smith, Principle Power’s commercial director, highlights that these designs are ready to be integrated into industrialized projects with challenging ocean conditions. This technology has a capacity of 105 MW in operation or advanced development and has been tested in extreme conditions, accumulating 740 GWh of clean energy. clean energy delivered.
