BlueSATH & DemoSATH, step towards the future of floating
• Update on floating wind market status.
• BlueSATH is a 1:6 scale of a 10 MW floater installed in Santander.
· DemoSATH consist on a full scale 2 MW turbine to be installed in the Basque Coast with scheduled commissioning in Q3 2021
• Learnings from both projects
• Challenges facing on commercial projects 10-14 MW WTG & the proposed solutionsBlueSATH & DemoSATH, step towards the future of floating
