This session has a primary focus on floating offshore wind advancements and innovations.  Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWT) and floating substation hull construction materials, types and modularization are explored through full-scale site assessment studies and model testing.  Reliability targets and the subsequent means to achieve them with hull, mooring and subsea cable advancements and optimizations as well as a novel installation method of fixed offshore wind turbines are explored in the efforts to reduce and stabilize the levelized cost of electricity and reduce carbon emissions in brownfield applications.
