Sevan Deepwater Technology has received an Approval in Principle (AiP) certificate from DNV for its SWACH floating offshore wind foundation design.
This milestone was achieved through design development, including hybrid model testing and coupled analyses. The SWACH (Small Waterplane Area Cylindrical Hull) design has been adjusted to accommodate a 15MW turbine. Key parameters in the development process included meeting original equipment manufacturer requirements, fabrication friendliness, mass production, scalability, and transportation efficiency.
