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

帆船型海上风力发电站的概念是，结构围绕日本专属经济区航行，追求最大限度地获得风能。获得的能量被转移到氢气中，并由穿梭油轮运送。平面结构的长度非常大，其长度约为2,000米。因此，在航行过程中的机动性和安全航行的结构强度是不确定的。本文针对这些问题，采用模型试验和数值模拟相结合的方法进行了研究。

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.
