Floating wind turbines: marine operations challenges and opportunities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract. The global floating offshore wind energy industry is rapidly maturing, with several technologies having been installed at pilot and demonstration scales. As the progresses to full array-scale deployments, optimization of marine activities related installation, operation maintenance, decommissioning presents a significant opportunity for cost reduction. This paper reviews various operations challenges towards commercialization in context spar-type, semi-submersible tension leg platform (TLP) technologies. Knowledge gaps research trends are identified along review innovations stages development, which intended widen weather windows, reduce installation costs, improve health safety floating-wind-related operations.

SHM of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines— Challenges and First Solutions
The paper presents an integrated SHM-system for floater, moorings, tower, nacelle and rotor blades. Its core is based on a multivariate SHM-system for rotor blades with three different measuring techniques accompanied by appropriate signal processing approaches: Acoustic Emission (AE) is used for identification of relative small damages at the whole blade, e.g. bursts of fibres, cracks of bon...
متن کاملConceptual Design of Floating Wind Turbines
The need for different numerical models with varying degrees of simplification for the conceptual design of a floating offshore wind turbine is the focus of this paper. While parts on the component level can be designed apart from the others the overall dynamics on the system level have to be assessed from the beginning. Starting with very simple models and identifying the significant contribut...
متن کاملMapping Ontario's Wind Turbines: Challenges and Limitations
Despite rapid and vast development of wind turbines across the Canadian province of Ontario, there is no map available indicating the location of each wind turbine. A map of this nature is crucial for health and environmental risk research and has many applications in other fields. Research examining health and wind turbines is limited by the available maps showing the nearest community to a wi...
متن کاملNonlinear Model Predictive Control of Floating Wind Turbines
In this work a nonlinear model predictive control method for a floating wind turbine is presented. A reduced nonlinear model including disturbance preview of wind and waves is derived and implemented to compute optimal input trajectories for collective pitch and the generator torque. A cost functional is introduced which fulfills all desired constraints and controller goals for above rated wind...
متن کاملFluid-structure interaction of mooring systems in floating wind turbines
Each REU student will work with (at least) one faculty advisor and (at least) one IGERT PhD mentor. Here we present twelve example research projects in some detail, overview in Table 1. The specific research projects will depend on the background and interest of the REU applicants and the evolving research among the IGERT faculty and graduate students.
