Nacelle accelerations of floating offshore wind from tank testing

该项目旨在探索如何将水箱测试结果应用于相关的设计问题，例如，评估FOWT的动态运动--由风、浪和电流联合加载--对这些设备的传动系统的影响。评估将包括确定和确定影响的特征，以及可能就缓解战略提供建议。该项目将把FloWave现有的水动力测试知识与工程学院和IDCORE合作伙伴的浮风技术专业知识联系起来。此外，还将探讨与极端事件和故障情况的模拟相关的其他问题，例如海上浮动风力涡轮机的线损。通过这样做，该项目打算扩大目前的坦克测试能力，并展示其对行业的重要性。FloWave的关键成果是能够在早期阶段融入客户设计项目，并开辟新的测试市场。

The project aims to explore how tank testing outcomes can be applied to associated design problems,for example, evaluate the impacts of dynamic motion of FOWTs - induced by combined wind, wave,and current loading - on the drivetrains of these devices. The evaluation will include determining andcharacterising the impact as well as potentially advising on mitigation strategies. The project will linkexisting hydrodynamic testing knowledge at FloWave with floating wind technology expertise in the Schoolof Engineering and IDCORE partners. Additional issues relating to the simulation of extreme events andfailure situations will also be explored, such as line loss on a floating offshore wind turbine. In doing so, theproject intends to expand the current capabilities of tank testing and to showcase it's importance to theindustry. The key outcome for FloWave is the ability to feed into client design programmes at an earlierstage, and open up new test markets.
