Reliable wind energy sites are in deeper waters and require offshore floating structures to harness the wind energy. Such floating structures require a reliable anchoring system that is secure and environmentally friendly. Calcareous sands, rich in carbonate content, pose unique challenges with their behaviour difficult to predict. In this project, a novel silent anchoring system is investigated that can be installed with minimum noise and vibration compared to more traditional counterparts. Through the state of the art development in numerical modelling and centrifuge modelling, this project will advance Australian Science and Practice in designing floating wind turbines in carbonate rich soils offshore and help energy transition.

可靠的风能站点位于更深的水域，需要海上浮动结构来利用风能。这种浮式结构需要可靠的锚定系统，既安全又环保。富含碳酸盐的钙质砂，其行为难以预测，给人们带来了独特的挑战。在这个项目中，研究了一种新型的无声锚定系统，与传统的锚定系统相比，它可以以最小的噪音和振动安装。通过数值模拟和离心模拟的最新发展，该项目将推动澳大利亚在海上富含碳酸盐的土壤中设计浮动风力涡轮机的科学和实践，并帮助能源转型。
