    In recent years, empirical studies of floating offshore wind power generation in the 2 MW-7 megawatt (MW) class have been launched around the world for technical verification
    .
    However, to expand access, it is necessary to develop advanced technologies that can further reduce the cost of power generation and compete
    with the cost of stationary offshore wind power generation.

    To this end, Japan's New Energy Industry Technology Development Organization (NEDO) and Hitachi Shipyard have jointly manufactured barge-type floats
    for next-generation offshore wind power generation systems.
    This barge-type float is characterized by its small size and light weight compared to ordinary semi-submersible floats, and the depth of the structure (draft) that sinks into the water is shallow, and it can be installed in a shallow sea area
    with a depth of about 50 meters.

    The barge-type floating body of the offshore wind power system completed at the Hitachi Shipyard will be transported to Kitakyushu Port in Fukuoka Prefecture, where it is planned to install windmills, moor and connect cables at Hibiki Beach in the waters of Kitakyushu City, and then start demonstration operation
