Operating ‚Near Shore‘ Wind Power:‐ Hokkaido: (2 x 600kW turbines) at a 

Japan Self Defense Forces facility‐ Yamagata: (5 x 2MW turbines), 

operated by Summit Wind Power‐ Ibaraki: (7 x 2MW turbines); to be

increased to 15 turbines. 300km from2011 earthquake epicenter – back in operation 2 weeks after earthquake

Operating Offshore Wind Power:‐ Gravity foundation with 1 x 2.4 MW 

turbine in Tokyo Bay‐ Gravity Foundation with 1 x 2.4 MW 

turbine in Fukuoka Bay

Operating Floating Scale Pilots:‐ Hakata Bay Wind Lens (2 x 3kW 

turbines in single floater)‐ Kabashima Island Spar (1 x 100kW 

turbine)

Planned Full Scale Floating Pilots:‐ Kabashima Island Spar (1 x 2MW 

turbine)‐ Fukushima Consortium (1 x 2MW and 2 

x 7MW turbines)

Floating Foundation Types:

Spar Buoy (ballast stabilized)

Semi Submersible (stabilized by active ballast systems and buoyancy)

Tension Leg Platform TLP(mooring line and buoyancy stabilized)

TLP:‐ Most stable‐ Less suitable for challenging ground conditions 

as well as strong tidal currents and storm surges‐ Reliant on anchor systems

Spar Boy:‐ Inherently stable; lowest operational risk‐ Requires at least 80‐100 meters water depth‐ Installation more challenging; assembly requires 

sheltered deep water site

Semi Submersible:‐ Most flexible design‐ Less stable than TLP and Spar‐ Reliance on active ballasting systems

Different solutions for different siteconditions!

Outlook

• For many years, Japan‘s floating offshore foundation research was unkown in Europe and North America as publications were only available in Japanese.

• Japanese government and industry have always been aware of the overseas market potential forfloating offshore wind, especially in the US. 

• Japanese industry had limited interest in the technology for the domestic Japanese marketbecause of lack of government support and opposition by the powerful Japanese fishingindustry.  The Great Eastern Japan Earthquake, Tsunami and Fukushima nuclear accident havechanged the direction. 

• The conservative government continues to support the development of renewable energy, including floating offshore wind. This is also highlighted in the latest 5 year Japan Ocean PolicyPlan, issued in April 2013.

• With ist strong naval architecture and marine construction resources Japan is likely to becomeone of the leaders in floating offshore wind. 

• Japan has strong representation in the IEA sub‐working group on standards for floating offshore wind. 

• Japan is developing navigational safety standards for floating offshore wind.
