FLOAWER is the EU-funded “ FLOAting Wind Energy netwoRk”, a European project that brings together leading academics and industry leaders in the offshore wind industry, and floating wind turbines in particular. The goal of the project is to strengthen the leadership and competitiveness of this industry in Europe. FLOAWER is an Innovative Training Network (ITN), granted via EU H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA), within which interdisciplinary training will be provided to 13 Early Stage Researchers (ESR) in different research fields related to floating wind energy.
The four scientific work packages of the FLOAWER programme are as follows:
• Wind Resource Assessment in deep water
• Advanced floater analysis
• Dynamics of wind turbine
• System design to reduce Levelized Cost of Energy
