Design and analysis of the foundation and anchoring systems of offshore wind turbine platforms for the southern Baltic

Tildelt: kr 29 999

The main objective of the proposed project is to work out the design, handling and economical aspects of offshore wind turbine platforms for use in the southern Baltic Sea, within the Polish economical zone. The design will be based on existing concepts u pdated with technical developments that are particularly adapted to the suggested deployment areas. Within the project two different types of platforms will be developed one for waters shallower than 40 m and the other for waters deeper than 40m. The pro posed project is divided into 6 work packages WP1:Coordination; WP2: Environmental parameters (wind/waves/currents); WP3: Platform design; WP4: Anchoring and foundation design; WP5: Transport and installation procedures; WP6: Economical aspects. From the Norwegian side two organizations will be involved in the project these are Aanderaa Data Instruments (AADI) and the Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA). These organizations will mainly work in WP2 which deals with mapping and prediction of norma l and worst case scenarios for hydro-meteorological conditions (currents, waves and wind). Simple bottom topography mapping and sediment investigations, to deduct anchoring conditions, will be conducted in selected areas. In addition we will investigate and propose the most efficient way to integrate environmental monitoring systems to the wind turbine platforms, so that these can serve the additional task of environmental monitoring. Use of these data can serve to improve navigational safety, to track c hemical spills if these occur and for biochemical measurements, of particular interest in the Baltic Sea which is suffering from oxygen depletion, eutrophication and large blooms (of e.g. toxic cyanobacteria). With this letter we apply for a pre-project support of 60 000 NOK (40 man hours writing + 20 kNOK for travel) to finalize this proposal.
