Project Description
FLOATING OFFSHORE WIND
PROJECT: FLOATING WIND MARKET ASSESSMENT
CLIENT: ENZEN Spain/ InnoEnergy
- Global perspective of floating wind market demands
- Study of the Offshore Wind market potential in Spain and Portugal
- Screening of technologies and market capacities
- Local value chain assessment
- Support for reporting
PROJECT: Concept Independent Verification (CONFIDENTIAL)
Early-stage concept independent verification:
- Review of general documentation
- Creation of an analysis model based on a geometry developed by Client
- Stability verification
- Seakeeping & Station Keeping analyses
- Structural FEM verification in ANSYS software
- Weight estimation
- Analysis of the practical production aspects (Fabrication strategy; Transport methods & Installation)
PROJECT: PULVINUS
Motion Reduction system design:
- Perform ballast/de-ballast marine operations remotely and safely
- Anti-heeling control of WT while operating, thus improving the efficiency
The system has been certified for two (2) 10MW floaters, including:
- Safety philosophy and design principles
- Functional specification
- Block diagrams & Main SIL modules
- P&I and One-line diagrams
- FMECA (Failure Modes effects and Critically Analysis)
- SIL Trials
- AHBCS physical model tests
- LR AiP
PROJECT: CROWN
- Floating Concept development and verification
- Seakeeping analyses and mooring design for a North Sea location
- Structural design (primary and secondary members) and material selection
- Coupled analyses
- Constructability assessment
- Logistic and manufacturing studies
- CAPEX and OPEX
- Model tests specification and follow up
- DNV AiP
PROJECT: RDS Reduced Draft Spar Concept
- Floating platform designed for a 8MW turbine.
- Simple and robust geometry. Easy to scale
- Concrete SPAR concept designed with reduced draft
- Active Ballast System
- TRL 5 Achieved, validated through model test
- Cost effective: reduction in CAPEX and OPEX versus other solutions
- Minimize the Marine Operations (towing + hook up)
PROJECT: Eolia

- Design of 3 specific wind turbine concepts for offshore application:
- SPAR design
- TLP design
- SEMI design
- Transport, installation and mooring analysis
- Stability and seakeeping analysis
- Model test validation
