The 2nd General Assembly of the WHEEL project took place last 26th and 27th February. All partners gathered in Santander to review the good results achieved in the latest months and to define steps in the next period of the project.

This GA meeting coincided with the execution of the tank testing in IHC premises. Therefore, all partners had the opportunity to witness first-hand the successful results on the seakeeping behaviour of the WHEEL prototype at different operational conditions including rated wind speed and severe sea states to reproduce different options in real environments.

The WHEEL project, funded by the European Commission through the Horizon Europe program, aims to bring to a precommercial Technology Readiness Level (TRL) a revolutionary floating wind technology excellently suited for deep water locations, effective industrialization strategies, breakthrough cost reduction and minimized carbon footprint.
