MARLIN STAR Community Access to Stored and Transferrable Energy from Floating Renewables

MARLIN STAR项目是一项创新开发和商业化的下一阶段，该项目将使沿海社区能够从浮动可再生能源中获得储存和可转移的能源。它支持若干联合国全球可持续发展目标，特别是第7条“负担得起的清洁能源”。它将彻底改变建造大型浮动平台的传统建造技术。MARLIN水下施工系统采用专利保护的浮力和方向控制。它使结构组成的大小一致的六边形互锁模块，以构建在使用点。浮动模块适合标准的ISO集装箱，方便运输到任何地点。不需要大型港口基础设施或大型浮式起重机的大规模制造技术和组装将降低成本。切实可行的能源获取将显著改善最贫困地区的生活质量。MARLIN STAR项目评估了在孟加拉国和印度实施浮式海上风能发电、储存和转移的市场和社会条件。将采用社会技术方法来告知设计，优化未来装置的使用寿命，并使社区能够独立地进行本地操作和维护。数值分析和实验室测试将在国际认可的研究机构进行。Oda资金减少修改为：一个带有风力涡轮机的模块化浮动基础原型将在干船坞的低水深“拖出”条件下进行测试

The MARLIN STAR project is the next phase in the development and commercialisation of an innovation that will enable coastal community access to stored and transferable energy from floating renewables. It supports several of the UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development and particularly #7 'Affordable and Clean Energy'. It will revolutionise traditional construction techniques for building large floating platforms. The MARLIN underwater construction system employs patent protected buoyancy and orientation control. It enables structures consisting of uniform sized hexagonal interlocking modules to be constructed at the point of use. Float Modules fit into standard ISO shipping containers for easy transport to any location. Mass manufacture techniques and assembly without the need for large port infrastructure or large floating cranes will reduce costs. Realistic energy access will bring significant improvements to quality of life in the most deprived areas. The MARLIN STAR project assesses the market and social conditions for implementation of floating offshore wind energy generation, storage and transfer in Bangladesh and India. A socio-technical approach will be used to inform the design, to optimise the longevity of future installations, and to enable local operation and maintenance by the communities independently. Numerical analysis and laboratory tests will be conducted at internationally recognised research facilities.ODA FUNDING REDUCTION AMENDED TO : A PROTOTYPE MODULAR FLOATING FOUNDATION WITH A WIND TURBINE WILL BE TESTED IN A REDUCED WATER DEPTH 'TOW-OUT' CONDITION IN A DRYDOCK
