The purpose of WindSea is to develop, test and commercialise a floating offshore wind turbine for the global market. The global energy demand cannot be met by fossil energy sources alone. At the same time, fossil energy sources are a significant source to the climatic challenges we are currently facing. Globally, focus is on developing clean and renewable energy sources and this is makes wind energy an important player.
However, establishing wind turbine farms is far from smooth. Factors such as preservation of nature, limited space and disagreements as to where wind turbine farms should be placed constitute a huge challenge. Offshore wind turbine farms address some of these problems, which is also one of the purposes of developing WindSea.
