Hydrodynamic Analysis of Floating Wind Structures in NL Area
FY 2022-23 · 2022-04-04
Summary
WESI is currently performing a large work scope with the goal to outline a conceptual design for the connection of floating wind turbines to a floating offshore drilling unit and the associated equipment required to transmit and distribute the power. The goal is to reduce engine run time, decreasing diesel usage and GHG emissions. It is expected that the fuel and cost savings will be significant enough to make this commercially viable.
The proposed project scope for IRAP is to study the hydrodynamic behavior of wind turbine floating structures as a means to determine the feasibility to support offshore wind turbines.

Description (French)
WESI réalise actuellement un vaste projet dont l'objectif est d'établir un plan conceptuel pour le raccordement d'éoliennes flottantes à une unité flottante de forage en mer et l'équipement connexe nécessaire pour transmettre et distribuer l'énergie. L'objectif est de réduire le temps de fonctionnement du moteur, diminuant ainsi l'utilisation du diesel et les émissions de gaz à effet de serre. On s'attend à ce que les économies de carburant et de coûts soient suffisamment importantes pour rendre le projet commercialement viable. La portée du projet proposé pour le PARI est d'étudier le comportement hydrodynamique des structures flottantes des éoliennes comme moyen de déterminer la faisabilité de soutenir les éoliennes en mer.
