In 2009, wind turbines supplied 2% of the UK's electrical demand \[1\]. By 2019, this had risen to 20% \[2\]. The UK government is committed to quadruple offshore wind capacity over the next ten years to achieve a total of 40GW offshore wind generating capacity by 2030 with 1 GW dedicated to floating offshore wind \[3\]. Floating wind represents the next frontier of offshore wind power generation and involves development of wind turbines on floating structures anchored in deeper water.The current generation of offshore turbines are fixed to the seabed in shallow waters up to 60m deep which has enabled the expansion of wind turbines around England's coast. Beyond this depth lie much larger acreages of sea with more powerful and sustained wind flows. Markets in Scotland, Norway, the US Pacific Coast, Japan, Korea and other countries with limited continental shelf but large domestic and industrial energy demand can benefit from deployment of floating windfarms to achieve the transition to renewable energy. This presents an opportunity for the UK economy and workforce with its unique combination of experience in deep water North Sea oil and gas developments and coastal offshore windfarms.Floating Energy Systems Ltd has experience in both areas and is working with its UK partners to prepare for the developing global floating offshore wind market. Together, they are developing the Stinger Keel Foundation Concept. It is a floating structure based on the floating truss spar concept developed for offshore oil/gas production but includes the innovation of a hinged connection between the weighted ballast keel and surface floating unit. This enables more efficient construction of the complete foundation-turbine assembly at the quayside rather than in open water and removes dependency on costly heavy lift floating craneage.With Innovate UK funding, FESL and its engineering partners shall conduct computer and wave tank simulations of the Stinger Keel foundation with operating turbine to thoroughly assess dynamic motions as well as assess novel fabrication techniques to improve ease of construction and achieve high volume productivity. End deliverables include fully detailed and verified construction plans from which fabricators may start to plan and cost the delivery of multiple foundation structure units to UK and global markets.\[1\] DECC Historical Electricity data (2013).\[2\] BEIS Digest of UK Energy Statistics 2020\.\[3\] Conservative Party Manifesto 2019\.

2009年，风力涡轮机提供了英国电气需求的2％\ [1 \]。到2019年，这已经上升至20％\ [2 \]。英国政府承诺在未来十年内实现四倍的海上风能，到2030年，总共实现了40GW的海上风能产生能力，其中1 GW致力于浮动的海上风\ [3 \]。漂浮的风代表了海上风能发电的下一个前沿，涉及在固定在更深水中的浮动结构上的风力涡轮机的开发。当前的近海涡轮机固定在海床上的浅水水域，直至60m深到60m深，这使英格兰海岸周围的风力涡轮机扩张。除了这个深度之外，更大的海面和更强大，更持续的风流。苏格兰，挪威，美国太平洋海岸，日本，韩国和其他大陆货架有限但大型国内和工业能源需求的市场可以从部署浮动风能中受益，以实现向可再生能源的过渡。这为英国的经济和劳动力提供了机会，其在深水北海石油和天然气开发以及沿海海上风力中的独特结合。FloloingEnergy Systems Ltd在这两个领域都有经验，并正在与其英国合作伙伴合作，为发展中发展的全球浮动海上风风市场做准备。他们共同开发了Stinger Keel Foundation的概念。这是一种基于用于海上油/天然气生产的浮动桁架晶石概念的浮动结构，但包括加权镇流器龙骨和表面浮动单元之间的铰链连接的创新。 This enables more efficient construction of the complete foundation-turbine assembly at the quayside rather than in open water and removes dependency on costly heavy lift floating craneage.With Innovate UK funding, FESL and its engineering partners shall conduct computer and wave tank simulations of the Stinger Keel foundation with operating turbine to thoroughly assess dynamic motions as well as assess novel fabrication techniques to improve ease of construction and achieve high volume productivity.最终可交付成果包括完全详细的和经过验证的建筑计划，制造商可能会开始计划并花费多个基础结构单位到英国和全球市场。\ [1 \] DECC历史电力数据（2013）。
