The US startup T-Omega Wind has come up with a never-been-tried-before floating turbine design that could open the door for new wind farms in both deep and shallow water, while cutting costs to the bone.

T-Omega Wind successfully launches 1/16 scale demonstrator turbine in Clark’s Cove, New Bedford, MA.

Press Release. NEW BEDFORD, MA, USA, December 5, 2023 T-Omega Wind, Inc. successfully launched its uniquely designed floating offshore wind turbine in New Bedford, MA. The 1/16 scale demonstrator’s launch is a big step forward for T-Omega Wind, Inc. and for the offshore wind industry.

“Rather than relying on onshore wind turbines, our solution was designed primarily for the harshest offshore environments, and instead of being wave-proof like most existing platform structures, ours is designed to ‘roam’ over the surface of the ocean, so it’s much lighter and uses less steel. for less cost.”

Karolyn Schaps from Climate Transformed interviews Brita Osmundsvaag Formato, T-Omega Wind’s CEO and discusses the future of floating offshore wind.

“Our mission is to develop what we believe is a disruptive technology that will democratise floating wind around the world,” she states, speaking with Recharge. “And [for TOW] that started with our considering what would be optimal for the oceans, not how technologies developed on land or for other industries might work offshore.

A Boston startup, T-Omega Wind, is challenging the conventional wisdom about how best to capture the potential for offshore windfarms by focusing on a radical new way to design floating platforms. Their goal is to drop the costs of offshore wind 70-80%.

T-Omega Wind, Inc., in collaboration with the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory, has been awarded a U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant of $256,000 to conduct research and development (R&D) work on their groundbreaking floating offshore wind turbine.

It’s no secret that climate change is a major issue affecting our planet today. Many innovations seek to take advantage of the various renewable resources at our disposable, such as wind energy. The best wind resources onshore tend to be in regions with limited population, but attention is now being directed to offshore wind, which is often stronger and near more people. While multiple offshore wind projects are being planned, these follow a relatively expensive and infrastructure-needy European model. However, a pair of researchers at Northeastern are looking to shake up the offshore wind industry with a new type of wind turbine platform. Read More
