Samsung began developing the floater model with offshore wind turbines in October of last year, before completing testing of the floating water tank model at the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (Kriso) in March, alongside classification societies, government agencies, and other partners.
Samsung Promotes Sustainability with Investments in Offshore Wind Energy
According to the head of Samsung Heavy Industries’ technology department, Ho-Hyun Jung, the global movement to combat climate change has been growing exponentially, resulting in high demand for renewable energy technologies, such as offshore wind energy.
Therefore, it is expected that this platform with floating offshore wind turbines will help combat climate change. Samsung claims that it bases its designs on floating oil drilling platforms.
The goal is to suppress future demand for this type of renewable energy by developing a competitive model, leveraging its land engineering capabilities.
Get to Know Samsung Heavy Industries
Samsung Heavy Industries was founded in 1974 and is a subsidiary of the South Korean conglomerate. It is one of the largest shipyards in South Korea and also became a manufacturer of wind turbines in 2013.
The company operates three industrial plants in South Korea: Goeje Shipyard, Daeduk R&D, and Pangyo R&D Center, as well as two additional plants overseas. SHI builds passenger ships, cargo ships, and FPSOs aimed at oil exploration. In the late 1980s, it began producing vehicles, starting with forklifts, and in 1993 initiated the production of trucks and electric car prototypes.
