GEOMA Project selected by Italian Government
Project
GEOMA, a consortium led
by Blue H has been selected as one of thirty recipients
of Italian public funding under the "Industria 2015" a
program announced by Mr. Claudio Scajola of the Ministry of Economic
Development. This Italian based project plans to develop a hybrid
concrete/steel 3.5 MW floating wind turbine ideal for the deep waters of
the Mediterranean Sea.
The consortium which is led by
Blue H R&D from Genoa, consists of
Ansaldo
Sistemi Industriali (Milan), Blue H Sky Saver
(Santoramo in Colle), Cesi Ricerca (Milan),
EADS Astrium (Parigi), Progeco (Rosignano),
Società
Gomma Antivibrante (Milan),
TRE Tozzi Renewable Energy (Ravenna), and
Università Federico II di Napoli (Naples).
Project GEOMA
aims to create an integrated solution for a floating wind turbine able
to bring down the overall cost of electricity generation in line with
economics of onshore wind energy generation but without the problem of
negative visual impact.

Technical Note
Blue H has adapted the concept of submerged tension-legged platforms
developed by the oil industry for some of its off-shore rigs, and
designed a platform large and stable enough to support a tower and a
wind turbine in most foreseeable weather conditions, keeping at the same
time the cost of construction, installation, and maintenance at
economical levels. As proof of concept Blue H is testing a large scale
prototype Submerged Deepwater Platform (SDP) in 108 meters waters at a
distance of 10.6 nautical miles from the coast in Southern Italy, the
world’s first of its kind ...
