A comparison of approaches for modelling walk-to-work gangway access
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 7 June 2022)The accessibility of offshore wind farms is a key parameter when considering the cost of the operations and maintenance (O&M) of wind farm assets. Indeed, the weather limits for accessing wind turbines is a critical input ... -
The relationship between reliability and environmental impact in tidal stream turbine developments
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 5 June 2022)Though tidal stream energy is a source of electricity with low environmental impact, the manufacture and operation of tidal energy devices has inbuilt environmental impact and cost. Maintenance costs can be significant ... -
Double braid mooring damper for floating offshore wind application
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 5 June 2022)Introduction of innovative mooring components can reduce the risk and cost associated to mooring systems of floating offshore wind turbines. The Intelligent Mooring System (IMS) is an active, hydraulic, nonlinear mooring ... -
Feedforward effect on the transient response during low voltage ride through
(Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2022)Suitable control methods and strategies applied in Power Electronic converters are vital to interconnecting renewable energy sources within a microgrid and the utility grid. Grid codes and international standards are ... -
Anchor Loads for Shallow Water Mooring of a 15MW Floating Wind Turbine - Part I: Chain Catenary Moorings for Single and Shared Anchor Scenarios
(Elsevier, 2 July 2022)Floating offshore wind turbines are characterised by complex coupled dynamics between the floating structure and turbine. These are subjected to a combination of aerodynamic, hydrodynamic and servo-dynamic loads which must ...
