DNV updates standard for floating wind turbine structures
The independent energy expert DNV said it has updated the DNV-ST-0119 standard for floating wind turbine structures with updates which allow the further optimization of floating wind turbine structures while maintaining a sufficient level of safety.
“The main change is a completely revised section on floating stability. In addition, various clarifications and updates have been implemented throughout the standard. The improvements are based on industry feedback as well as DNV’s own gap analyses and experience from projects,” said DNV in a statement.
The organization said that floating wind has the potential to make a significant contribution in decarbonisation and can represent 2 percent of global power supply by 2050.
