About OSI Renewables
Applying over 80 years of experience in the industry and more than 40 years of experience supplying deepwater fixed and floating infrastructure for traditional energy developments, OSI Renewables, an Oil States enterprise, is now leveraging these core technologies to support renewable energy sources.
OSI Renewables applies field-proven technologies from the traditional oil & gas sector as well as designs, engineers, manufactures, tests, and installs game-changing new technologies to support the wind, geothermal, carbon capture and storage, deepsea minerals gathering, and hydrogen markets.
The Ideal Solution for Mid-water Floating Wind
Introducing the FTLP™ Floating Wind Platform
As the leading global TLP mooring system expert, Oil States manufactured and installed 95% of the world’s TLP mooring systems. The FTLP incorporates decades of deepwater TLP learnings to minimise levelized cost of energy (LCoE) across the offshore wind life cycle.
Current floating offshore wind platform options are constrained by limitations with port infrastructure, inland transportation routes and harbour depth and draft, which restrain the ability to build and install systems locally at commercial scale. The FTLP can reduce foundation weight by approximately 50% and can be built locally to meet local content targets, potentially reducing the need for quayside reinforcement.
FTLP™ Floating Platform
Lighter, More Stable, Modular
Traditional offshore wind floating structures allow for significant movement of the platform which not only leads to turbine fatigue but also prevents offshore wind development in deeper waters. However, the FTLP provides the steadiness of a fixed-bottom wind structure for the mid-water floating environment at a substantially reduced cost with streamlined installation. Seabed footprint is minimised with near vertical fisherman friendly moorings. The FTLP is scalable to over 20MW and capable of water depths up to 150 meters, tested in extreme storm conditions and significant wave heights exceeding 20 meters, substantially expanding opportunities for offshore wind development.
FTLP™ Platform Features And Benefits
Changing the Economics of Mid-Water Arrays
The system includes the complete package of seabed mooring, hull, turbine, pull-in & installation. Its lower cost tension-leg platform (TLP) style mooring system is integral to the structure which is actually fixed to the seabed, providing the functionality of a fixed bottom platform in water depths currently only accessible with traditional floating structures. The patent-pending design includes a central column allows the structure to remain above the water, while the tendons provide lateral stability. The combined platform, mooring, and turbine design has been optimised through rigorous global engineering, analysis and testing and is now DNV certified. The platform can also be integrated with any OEM turbine if desired.
