Load Reduction Device Integration Feasibility In Llyr

LIFIL(Llyr中的减负装置集成可行性)项目为Llyr项目的新型系泊创新提供了商业和技术上的可行性，该项目利用减载装置(LRD)，潜在地显著降低了近海平台的成本和风险。LRD是一种水下系泊部件，可以控制并显著降低作用在平台、系泊缆绳和锚上的力。都柏林近海LRD设计致力于通过随波浪载荷被动旋转来优化系泊响应刚度，并提供对FOW平台保持的准确和可靠的控制。这可以通过更便宜的系泊绳索、更小的锚、更轻的平台、降低系统故障的风险和增加风力发电机组的正常运行时间来降低成本。LRD对项目的影响需要仔细考虑，因为该装置会影响农场的设计、安装、融资、保险和运营。这项基于案头的可行性研究将利用现有的现场数据将Llyr 1和2浮动海上风场的系泊系统集成到Llyr 1和2的系泊系统中。通过建立一个包括技术开发人员、FOW市场的关键技术和保险利益相关者在内的项目交付团队，并以最终用户和客户为项目负责人，这项协作可行性研究将量化整合这项技术创新对网站的验证影响。可行性项目范围提供以下结果，这些结果对于实现未来的技术采购至关重要：-考虑到首选的FOW平台和独特的网站条件，LRD的项目特定设计。这使得能够准确地确定部件的规格以及与当地制造商的合作，以便在英国供应链内定价。-项目特定成本影响验证，包括能源化成本、资本支出和运营成本-安装和运营影响的项目特定风险评估。-为Llyr项目整合新技术对保险能力和风险保费的影响这项可行性研究是都柏林离岸LRD设计商业化道路上的下一步。这项创新有可能使FOW系泊系统几乎完全从英国供应商那里采购，到2050年为英国创造多达6,000个就业机会，并使FOW成本降低，以支持净零目标。

The LIFIL (Load Reduction Device Integration Feasibility In Llyr) project delivers the commercial and technical feasibility for a novel mooring innovation for the Llyr Project, utilising the Load Reduction Device (LRD), which potentially significantly reduces cost and risk for offshore platforms.The LRD is a subsea mooring component which controls and significantly reduces the forces acting on the platform, mooring line and anchor. The Dublin Offshore LRD design works to optimise mooring response stiffness by passively rotating with wave loading and delivering accurate and reliable control of the FOW platform station keeping. This enables cost reduction through cheaper mooring lines, smaller anchors, lighter platforms, reduced risks of system failure and increased WTG uptime. The impact of the LRD on the project requires careful consideration as the unit impacts the design, installation, financing, insurance, and operation of the farm.This desk-based feasibility study will integrate the Load Reduction Device (LRD) within the mooring systems of the Llyr 1 and 2 floating offshore wind sites in the Celtic Sea using existing site data. By building a project delivery team including the technology developer, key technical and insurance stakeholders from the FOW market, and with the end user and customer as project lead, this collaborative feasibility study will quantify the validated impact of integrating this technology innovation for the sites.The feasibility project scope delivers the outcomes below, which are critical to enabling future procurement of the technology:-Project specific design of the LRD, considering the preferred FOW platforms and unique site conditions. This allows accurate specification of the component and engagement with local fabricators for pricing within the UK supply chain.-Project specific cost impact validation, including Levelized Cost of Energy, CAPEX and OPEX-Project specific risk assessment of installation and operational impacts.-Impact on insurability and risk premiums of integration of a new technology for the Llyr ProjectThis feasibility study is the next step on the path to commercialisation for Dublin Offshores' LRD design. The innovation has the potential to enable FOW mooring system to be procured almost entirely from UK suppliers, creating up to 6,000 UK jobs by 2050 and enabling FOW cost reduction to support Net Zero targets.
