Research on the Establishment of the Basic Design Technology for the Sailing Type Offshore Wind Power Plant

帆船式海上风电场的概念是结构在日本专属经济区内航行，追求获得的风能最大化。获得的能量被转移到氢气中，并由航天飞机油轮运载。规划的结构长度很大，大约有2000米长。因此，航行中的操纵性和安全航行的结构强度都是不确定的。本文针对这些问题进行了研究，并通过模型试验和数值模拟的方法解决了这些问题。

Concept of the sailing type offshore wind power plant is that the structure moves by sails around Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone pursuing to maximize obtained wind energy. Obtained energy is transferred to the hydrogen and carried by shuttle tankers. The length of planed structure is very large and its length is around 2,000 meters. Thus, the maneuverability during the sailing, and structural strength for safe navigation were uncertain. These problems are focused on in this study, and are solved by means of model experiment and numerical simulation.
