DESIGN AND ENGINEERING ACTIVITY FOR OFFSHORE WIND PROJECT

Abstract

To be a part of contribution of achievement of carbon neutral in future, many offshore wind farm projects have been emerging at various places including Japan and Taiwan. Completing preassembly, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of windfarm require multiple dedicated design activities. This paper describes example of design activities for offshore wind project such as optimization of wind turbine, support structure design activity with foundation designer, verification of structural integrity of turbine and support structure considering site load conditions including earthquakes and typhoons, verification of safety about pre-assembly, transportation and lifting of turbine main component offshore have been stated.
