CABLE 2 JIP WILL FURTHER DEVELOP SUBSEA INTER‐ARRAY CABLE TECHNOLOGY
Cable 1 JIP (2017-2019) was an RVO (Netherlands Enterprise Agency) subsidised research project with the aim of studying the use of a semi-static electrical cable for the power take-off from a floating offshore wind turbine. During the project, a fully operational simulation model was developed for assessing the ultimate life and fatigue life of a […]
Establishing wind loads using CFD
With the increasing size of offshore structures, wind loads are becoming more and more important when designing vessels for operational conditions. For some locations, the wind may be the predominant load factor. There are several ways to determine the wind loads of typical vessels. A dramatic growth in computing power has meant that Computational Fluid […]
Maximising speed through wind & waves
Crew Transfer Vessels (CTV) are essential for the maintenance of offshore wind turbines. Their high speed operation in waves can benefit from an innovative onboard wave radar, coupled with motion prediction. Figure 1 Wave observations with new radar in range 0-250m Predictions are done by combining measured wave profiles forward of the ship with wave […]
Gaining further insight into Wind Assisted Ship Propulsion
Wind Assisted Ship Propulsion (WASP) is one of the methods available to help the shipping world reduce its reliance on (fossil) fuel and thereby enable a zero emission future. Of course this goes together with simply saving energy through measures such as having the main dimension and hull form optimised for actual operational conditions, efficient […]
