Project description:
One of the challenges of floating wind is the installation method. This study aimed to develop an installation method to improve the workability of a wind turbine installation on a Tension-leg platform (TLP).
Before continuing this study a comprehensive motion analysis is made. The analysis consists of a relative movement result of the different components. This way the workability is determined which has to be improved later.
OI’s scope of work:
- Comprehensive review of current Floating Offshore Wind installation possibilities
- Hydrodynamic analysis Ansys AQWA
- Tension-leg Platform Characteristics (RAO’s)
- Influence vessel disturbance
- Workability Analysis OrcaFlex
- Model configuration
- Relative motion + Limits + Wave data -> Workability determined
- Results processing
- Validation and Rosettes (Python)
- Concept selection/development
- Concept considering sketching (Rhino)
- Feasibility study
- Design & modeling lifting operation OrcaFlex
- Evaluation of bottlenecks and iterations
