Development and Demonstration of an intelligent active mooring load-management system (IAMS)

该项目将开发和测试用于浮动风、波和潮汐能装置的系泊组件——智能主动系泊系统（IAMS）。该系统将降低锚、系泊部件和系泊结构的成本，从而降低海洋可再生能源产生的总成本，同时还减少了系泊足迹，并提供了一些从结构运动中回收能量的元素。主要项目目标包括主动系泊构件的疲劳试验、智能控制系统的开发和原型试验。最终的交付成果将是投资者准备好的技术开发提案，由详细的技术报告、设计的原型基础、成本开发计划和商业案例分析支持。

This project will develop and test a mooring component for floating wind, wave and tidal energy installations - the intelligent active mooring system (IAMS). The system will reduce the cost of anchors, mooring components and the moored structure to reduce the overall cost of energy produced from marine renewables, whilst also reducing mooring footprints and providing some element of energy recovery from structure motions. The key project objectives include fatigue testing of the active mooring component, development of the intelligent control system and prototype testing. The final deliverable will be an investor-ready technology development proposition supported by a detailed technology report, prototype basis of design a costed development plan and a commercial business case analysis.
