New England Aqua Ventus I: 100% Hull Design (Final Technical Report)
This report serves as the final technical report for the US Department of Energy (DOE) award DE-EE0006713 (Award 6713). The project is titled “New England Aqua Ventus I Offshore Wind Advanced Technology Demonstration Project 100% Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED)”. The New England Aqua Ventus I (NEAV) project demonstrates a unique prestressed concrete semi-submersible floating hull technology, called VolturnUS. The technology is applicable to harness nearly 60% of the US offshore wind resource within 50 miles of the coast. The hull will be demonstrated at full-scale with a commercial scale wind turbine connected to the grid in the Northeast US off Monhegan Island, Maine for 20 years.
