| dc.description.abstract | Floating offshore wind turbines are an emerging source of marine renewable energy. Installation engineering of these large floating structures is required to provide confidence to owners and insurers that they are constructed in a safe and cost effective manner. This paper covers the construction and installation of various substructure types including barges, Spars, semi submersibles and tension leg platforms.
This paper details the engineering requirements for installation vessels and large onshore cranes required for the construction of floating substructures that support offshore wind turbines. Each of the installation phases, such as load-out, fit out, tow out, mooring connection and cable laying poses challenges in the use of existing technology and the development of new installation techniques. The presentation will give an overview and comparative analysis of lessons learnt for offshore installation of floating offshore wind turbines.
