GICON’s SOF development provides a floating substructure for offshore wind turbines which can be deployed in water depths of 45 to 350 meters and more while achieving LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) of 5 to 8 € cent / kWh. This makes GICON one of the global development leaders for floating offshore wind substructures.

As a tension-leg-platform (TLP) the GICON®-SOF has significant advantages compared to other floating substructure types like semi-submersibles or spar buoys. The semi-sub gains its stability from its outer dimensions, activating the water plane area to compensate the overturning moment caused by the turbine thrust.

GICON’s SOF development provides a floating substructure for offshore wind turbines which can be deployed in water depths of 18 – 500 meters while achieving LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) below 10 € cent / kWh. This makes GICON one of the global development leaders for floating offshore wind substructures.

智康的海上漂浮平台可以安装于18-500米深的海域内，同时每度电的成本小于10欧元。 这使得智康成为全球海上浮动平台解决方案的为数不多的提供商之一。 该项目的研发中心在2009年成立，通过与弗莱堡大学技术和矿产资源学院以及罗斯托克大学和佛朗霍夫研究所共同合作研发，并成功在2014年7月份将通过测试的产品进行了初始阶段的应用。

GICON is an incorporated group of independent engineering and consulting companies under the strategic and management leadership of GICON Holding GmbH. The group operates under the registered trademark GICON ®. GICON’s headquarters is in Dresden, Germany. Office locations throughout Germany provide services close to our German clients.

GICON® erstellt Planungsleistungen für Gründungsstrukturen im Bereich Offshore-Windenergie. Schwerpunkt bildet dabei das vom Land Mecklenburg-Vorpommern geförderte Forschungsprojekt GICON®-SOF, dessen Ziel es ist, das erste schwimmende Fundament mit einer Offshore-Windenergieanlage der 2 MW-Klasse in Deutschland zu errichten.

By using the GICON®-SOF in areas with high wind conditions at water depths of 45 to 350 meters and more, higher revenues can be generated than with fixed foundations. A standardized system design can be used for each location, which reduces manufacturing costs.

As a joint venture between the GICON Group and CIP Holding AG, we offer technologies that help you advance - from the production of renewable energy to the utilization, remediation and protection of soils and water bodies.
