Cutting edge technology

Beyond the horizon

TwinWind™

Hexicon’s patented TwinWind™ technology is a gamechanger in the offshore wind industry. By utilizing two turbines on one foundation, TwinWind™ enables more power to be produced per sea area when compared to single-turbine systems. This further reduces the levelized cost of energy providing lower electricity prices for consumers whilst minimizing the impact on the environment and surrounding activities. Floating foundations make wind power accessible in deeper waters where the potential is virtually unlimited, and turbines are unnoticeable. The TwinWind™ design is compatible to all the major offshore wind turbine designs and can support turbines ranging from 3MW to 15+MW and beyond, evolving as turbine technologies evolve.

ACCESS TO BETTER WIND CONDITIONS

The TwinWind™ foundation allows the complete unit to freely rotate with the wind direction, which makes the site able to access better wind conditions.

LESS IMPACT ON NATURE & WILDLIFE

Tension leg platform (TLP) or catenary mooring systems for minimal impact on the seabed. Wind farms could work as an artificial reef to protect ocean wildlife.

FLEXIBILITY IN SITE SELECTION

The adaptivity to the usage of different mooring systems makes the site selection flexible.

INDEPENDENT OF WATER DEPTH

The floating platform makes wind power production possible on deep waters.

HIGH POWER DENSITY

Two turbines on one foundation enable a higher power density through installation of more power per area compared to similar technology.

EFFICIENT MAINTENANCE

Standardized design and infrastructure make the maintenance of the TwinWind efficient both at sea and onshore.
