Developed by J-Power and the University of Tokyo, the earthquake-resistant foundation for fixed-bottom offshore wind turbines is tailored for Japan’s topography.

A Japanese company has designed an earthquake-resistant foundation for fixed-bottom offshore wind turbine s. Developed by J-Power and the University of Tokyo, the ‘flexible tripile’ foundation is tailored for Japan’s topography.

J-Power claims that the design provides seismic isolation from the ground, improving constructability in areas with shallow bedrock and reducing vibrations caused by earthquakes.used in bottomfixed offshore wind turbines, which are currently being introduced on a large scale. However, monopile foundations are unsuitable for areas with relatively hard bedrock close to the surface, as is often the case in the waters around Japan.

The company also recognizes the need for further technological development in offshore wind power to achieve the carbon neutrality goals outlined in J-Power Blue Mission 2050.
