For a sustainably green future
Industry Challenges
Offshore wind developers face critical issues such as increased technical complexity related to platform and turbine stability, designing maximum sea states and wind conditions, increasing turbine sizes and mooring system selection. Furthermore, there is also need to achieve lower LCOE’s and an overall concern for labor requirements, supply chain development and logistics.
Offshore Floating Structures Experts
OSI Renewables™ are leaders in offshore floating structures industry, delivering complete turnkey wind solution packages, that streamlines engineering, procurement, construction, and installation process for developers, reducing costs and unlocking revenue. We help customers to optimize the entire wind power generation process safely and efficiently, while extending system and design life.
Our Solution
We have developed a complete turnkey floating wind solution that leverages OSI’s 40+ years of experience in offshore fixed and floating project installations.
The system is ideal for harsh wind and sea conditions and suitable to over 20MW turbines at 150m water depth.
The value that we bring to developers is a unique turnkey, ‘one-stop-shop’ aproach with a completely integrated floating wind package from seabed connections to turbine that has considered all the elements, is optimised through global analysis, which significantly reduces installation costs while simplifying procurement.”

Benefits of the Integral Design:
- Optimizes wind power generation
- Ensures stability between the platform and wind turbine
- Minimizes fatigue stresses applied to the structure
- Extends system utilisation and design life
- Minimizes maintenance costs/OPEX
Integrating It All
Dynamic analysis is key to optimal design
By looking at the system as a whole, we are able to conquer the concept selection for floating structures quickly and efficiently. OSI’s RiserTec™ subsidiary takes design parameters such as water depth, sea states, and wind conditions, to carry out an in-depth analysis to determine optimal system design for best performance in the dynamic offshore environment.
Simplifying Procurement, Reducing Costs
Our turnkey approach drastically reduces complexity and total installed costs. We deliver a one-stop complete solution driven by a deep understanding of the global engineering design and analysis, that is optimised for manufacturing, and streamlined for installation/ service, significantly simplifying floating offshore wind projects.
