Flex2power

Flex2power is an elastic, offshore floating steel foundation that produces energy from wind, waves and the sun

Solar

Offshore wind

Technology concept/solution:
‍Flex2power will be a slim and elastic floating foundation of steel and concrete at sea for production of energy from renewable sources such as wind, waves and sun. The energy from this floating foundation will be converted into electricity via hydraulic systems and generators. Solar panels will be mounted on top of each generator-room and produce electricity from solar energy. The concept is unique because it combines energy production from several renewable sources by occupying a very small sea-area. This makes the concept both cost-effective and area-efficient.
