Dynamic Systems Analysis (DSA) develops and markets dynamic modelling tools like ProteusDS to predict the behavior of mechanical systems that are placed in service in ocean and marine environments. ProteusDS relies on empirical loading coefficients to predict system loads to calculate the dynamic response of mechanical systems. DSA sees a growth opportunity to apply ProteusDS to predict dynamic mooring loads for surface-mounted hydrokinetic turbines. DSA has already established itself as a strong contender to provide dynamic analysis tools for simulating floating platforms deployed in marine environments for offshore oil and gas, ship, and aquaculture industries. ProteusDS is an effective tool to reduce costs and risks associated with mooring systems for surface mounted hydrokinetic turbines. The University of Manitoba operates the Canadian Hydrokinetic Turbine Testing Centre on the Winnipeg River with surface-mounted turbines scheduled to be tested water-to-wire this summer. The University of Manitoba will measure mooring hydrodynamic loads for a surface-mounted 3-blade Darrius hydrokinetic river turbine to validate ProteusDS empirical loading coefficients. The project outcome is to show accuracy in mooring predictions when hydrokinetic turbines are subjected to various hydrodynamic loads. This project contributes to the Canadian Marine Energy Roadmap which recommends Canada maintains its global leadership in hydrokinetic river turbines. The project collaboration will contribute to marine energy standards currently under development.
