MARLIN Modular Floating Platform for Offshore Wind: Concept Assessment

桑德兰大学将：-将模块和附件系统的想法和基本概念开发成3D CAD格式的概念设计。领导“制造设计”活动，包括机械、流体处理和电气系统，作为“主动”模块和“固定质量”模块的整体系统。-对水下设备的控制和监测进行详细的文献调查，包括浮力控制、定向和连接条件控制等具体方面。-支持和通知AFRC（斯特拉斯克莱德大学）建模模拟，以选择合适的材料，以提高强度，耐久性和成本效益。-与NAOME（斯特拉斯克莱德大学）、Frontier technology和AFRC合作，在波浪罐测试模型中安装合适的仪器。-参加每周电话会议和季度会议。随着研究和测试结果的发展，计划将在必要时进行完善和调整。-为坦克测试建立比例模型。提供材料选择和相关的环境影响研究。-支持AFRC开发负载分配概念，将5MW NREL“标准风力涡轮机”安装到浮动结构上，并进行实际的“可制造”设计。-提供输入，以支持设计和建造4 / 4比例的全功能模型，用于在桑德兰港码头和公海进行演示。-对代表性样品进行适当的力学测试，为后续建模提供数据。

The University of Sunderland will:- Work to develop ideas and basic concepts of modules and attachment systems into concept design in 3D CAD formats.- Lead the 'Design for Manufacture' activities which will include the mechanical, fluid handling, and electrical systems as integral systems within 'Active' modules and 'Fixed Mass' modules.- Carry out a detailed literature survey into the control and monitoring of subsea equipment including specific aspects of buoyancy control, orientation and connection conditions control.- Support and inform the AFRC (University of Strathclyde) modelling simulations to select suitable materials for enhanced strength, durability and cost performance.- Work with NAOME (University of Strathclyde), Frontier Technical and AFRC to install suitable instrumentation into Wave Tank test models.- Attend weekly telecalls and quarterly consortium participant meetings. Plans will be refined and adjusted if necessary as the results of the research and testing develops.- Build scale models for tank test. - Provide materials selection and associated environmental impact studies.- Support AFRC in developing load distribution concepts for the mounting of a 5MW NREL 'standard wind turbine' onto the floating structure and practical 'manufacturable' design. - Provide input to support the design and build of a 4 quarter scale fully functioning models for demonstration in the Port of Sunderland Docks and in the open sea.- Conduct appropriate mechanical tests on representative samples to provide data for subsequent modelling.
