This projects aims to enable performance prediction of foundations for offshore wind turbines in the challenging carbonate sandy sediments which are prevalent offshore Australia. This is significant for an emerging industry with each project costing tens of billions of dollars and foundations accounting for a quarter of the development cost. This project expects to provide guidance for these complex different soil conditions that is based on advanced understanding obtained from innovative experimental and numerical techniques. Expected outcomes include de-risking through significantly reduced uncertainties. This research should therefore lead to significant economic and societal benefits of affordable clean energy and generation of jobs.

该项目旨在对澳大利亚近海常见的具有挑战性的碳酸盐桑迪沉积物中的海上风力涡轮机基础进行性能预测。这对于一个新兴行业来说意义重大，因为每个项目都耗资数百亿美元，而基金会占开发成本的四分之一。该项目旨在为这些复杂的不同土壤条件提供指导，这些土壤条件是基于从创新的实验和数值技术中获得的先进理解。预期成果包括通过大幅减少不确定性来降低风险。因此，这项研究应导致负担得起的清洁能源和创造就业机会的重大经济和社会效益。
