Technologies for mitigation and monitoring of environmental issues caused by floating offshore wind

通过该项目，将确定系泊和生物润滑的工业优先级。对结构可靠性的影响和对与当地环境的相互作用将被涵盖。这将用于确定被动监测解决方案的机会。最后，将开发一种被动监测解决方案。系泊缆绳的状态对任何浮式结构的结构完整性至关重要。特别是对于漂浮风来说，这是非常重要的，因为一个农场需要很多平台。由于一些平台的设计使用了至少3根系泊线，因此确实需要了解和维护这些电缆的状况。到目前为止，系泊缆绳使用应变计进行现场监测，并监测缆绳中的张力。事实证明，这种方法可以很好地检测线路故障，但尚未用于表示更渐进的变化。

Through this project the industrial priorities for mooring and biofouling will be determined. The effects on the structural reliability and on interactions with the local environment will be covered. This will be used to identify opportunities for passive monitoring solutions. Finally a passive monitoring solution will be developed. The condition of mooring lines is of critical importance to the structural integrity of any floating structure. For floating wind in particular this is of prominent importance due to the number of platforms required for a farm. With several platform designs using a minimum of 3 mooring lines there will be a real need to understand and maintain the condition of these cables. Up to this point mooring lines are monitored in-situ using strain gauges and monitoring the tension in the lines. This has proven good at detecting line failures but has not been used to represent more gradual changes.
