Dynamic Load Reduction and Station Keeping Mooring System for Floating Offshore Wind

智能系泊系统（IMS）将大幅降低浮式海上风力发电的LCOE。这是一个由Teqniqa Systems与埃克塞特大学和DNV-GL合作领导的行业项目。IMS具有独特的系泊阻尼方法，基于压力的主动控制，没有机械运动部件。除了出色的减载性能外，它还可以在运行中根据风力和波浪条件进行动态调整，并允许对负载阈值进行多个预配置响应。将从IMS中获得最大利益的海上结构物是用于浮式海上风力发电的大型高成本平台，其需要高生存能力和最佳位置保持。载荷-延伸曲线的形状和陡度在操作中是可变的，以适应主要的海洋气象条件。这使得响应特性的范围比其他方式更广。响应于平台反馈的阻力和冲程长度的可控性质以及诸如能量收集装置的精确位置保持、潮差补偿或姿态效率的要求是独特的系泊能力，并且是终端用户高度期望的。

The Intelligent Mooring System (IMS) will result in substantial reductions to LCOE for floating offshore wind generation. It is an industry project led by Teqniqa Systems in collaboration with the University of Exeter and DNV-GL. The IMS has a unique approach to mooring damping, pressure based active control with no mechanical moving parts. In addition to excellent load reduction performance, it can be tuned dynamically in operation in response to wind and wave conditions, as well as allowing multiple pre-configured responses to loading thresholds. Offshore structures which would accrue greatest benefits from IMS are large high-cost platforms used in Floating Offshore Wind which need high survivability and optimal station keeping. The shape and steepness of the load–extension curve is variable in operation to adjust to the prevailing metocean conditions. This allows a much wider range of response characteristics than would otherwise be available. The controllable nature of the resistance and stroke length in reaction to platform feedback and requirements such as accurate position keeping, tidal range compensation or attitude efficiency for energy harvesting devices is a unique mooring capability and highly desirable for end users.
