Triton Systems Secures Additional Funding for Offshore Wind Energy Anchoring System
Summary
Tritons Helical Anchor Group Installation System (HAGIS) is a low cost, silent, efficient, flexible anchoring system for small- and large-scale offshore wind farms.Offshore wind power is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sectors for the United States and the rest of the developing world. Environmental impact is also a major concern where some anchoring systems interfere with sea life due to acoustic impairment. * Can be applied to any offshore wind platform or mooring configuration making it a flexible solution for the growing market* Minimizes acoustic impact on the environment and sea life* Can be easily removed for decommissioning planning* Is scalable and applicable to many types of subsea foundations beyond offshore wind, such as other renewable energy systemsTritons anchoring system (patent-pending) works by using highly efficient helical anchors that provide significant benefit in holding capacity. "We are very appreciative of the funding we received from the Department of Energy, the Consortium and MassCEC," said Mr. Zach Miller, Senior Ocean Engineer. "Not only is there a tremendous cost saving, but HAGIS will achieve an environmentally friendly solution to reduce the construction effects on local wildlife.
