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

通过该项目，将确定系泊和生物污损的工业优先事项。将涵盖对结构可靠性和与当地环境相互作用的影响。这将用于确定被动监测解决方案的机会。最后将开发被动监控解决方案。系泊缆的状况对任何浮式结构的结构完整性至关重要。特别是对于浮动风，由于农场所需的平台数量，这一点非常重要。对于使用至少3根系泊缆的多个平台设计，将有真实的需要了解和维护这些缆线的状况。在此之前，使用应变仪对系泊缆进行现场监测，并监测系泊缆中的张力。这已被证明在检测线路故障方面很好，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.
