X1 Wind

Our X30 floating wind prototype in Canary Island delivered its first kWh! The milestone marks the world’s first fully functional TLP floating wind platform to export power and Spain's first floating wind platform to export electricity. ‘First power’ was fed into PLOCAN's offshore platform smart grid via a 1.4km underwater cable. The project will now enter the last phase of a rigorous test and verification program which started with the platform installation in November 2022, in preparation for the technology industrialization and certification for commercial scale projects currently under development. X30 Prototype main design features: - Equipped with a specially adapted V29 Vestas turbine and ABB power converter - TLP mooring system, which dramatically reduces the seabed footprint (compared to traditional designs proposing catenary mooring lines) - SPM design enables the floater to ‘self-align’ passively and maximize energy yields while reducing maintenance needs.

We congratulate Technip Energies for being selected for the PAREF Project. This initiative will contribute to the anchoring system of the 6MW floating wind platform to be installed in the Mediterranean Sea under the NextFloat project. We are excited to welcome this innovative contribution, marking a significant step towards achieving a competitive and sustainable integrated floating offshore wind solution optimized for deep waters. #FloatingOffshoreWind #OffshoreWind #NextFloat Offshore Engineer Magazine

Last week, at the 14th ENERMAR Energías Renovables Marinas Technical Session, we showcased the installation capabilities of X1 Wind's TLP, designed to enhance floating wind T&I and O&M. Our Mechanical Engineering Manager, Santiago Canedo, participated in the Anchoring System panel, highlighting the innovative features of X1 Wind's technology. He detailed how our patented Quick-Connector System, column-stabilized platform, and Single Point Mooring system streamline the connection and disconnection processes. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the organizers and look forward to participating in future editions! #FloatingWind #OffshoreWind #FloatingOffshoreWind #Enermar2024

The NextFloat+ Project secures €13,4 million ‘cornerstone grant’ from Innovation Fund to accelerate floating wind. Led by a consortium formed by X1 Wind, as project coordinator, alongside Technip Energies, it will involve the deployment of a 6MW floating wind platform at a test site in the Mediterranean Sea. The pre-commercial prototype, called ‘X90’, will demonstrate a cost-effective integrated system composed of a structurally efficient and lightweight floating platform with a SPM (Single Point Mooring) and a TLP (Tension Leg Platform), greatly reducing the seabed footprint impact. The cash injection will further advance industrialization and scale-up of the integrated floating wind solution at 20MW+ scale.
