Floating Offshore Wind Energy production : The next big move
Summary
At first sight this seems like an impelling alternative and fits nicely with the green transition Norway has just started, building on expertise developed in the maritime, fish farming and offshore oil & gas industries. The consortium has established a project with the overall objective to significantly improve the accuracy, security and efficiency of design processes for offshore wind farms and floating turbines. An R&D project, named ImproveFLOW, was kicked off on June 21st and the outcome will be a state-of-the-art multi-disciplinary simulation platform that will also incorporate modern, advanced 3D visualization capabilities and collaborative workflows. A key challenge for floating offshore energy production is that turbines and floaters are subjected to interaction effects which vary with both wind and wave conditions. To offer a higher level of certainty for investors in floating wind, it is important to have accurate prediction methods to estimate the annual energy production.
