PRACTICAL USE OF THE WAVE PREDICTION SYSTEM AND ACTUAL CONDITION OF ACCESS FOR MAINTENANCE OF OFFSHORE WIND POWER

Abstract

 JPower has been advancing the “Offshore Meteorological Observation System Experimental Research” project(offshore from Kitakyushu City) as NEDO's contractor from FY 2009 to FY 2016 and the “Offshore Wind Power Generation System Experimental Research” project(offshore from Kitakyushu City) as NEDO's joint researcher from FY 2011 to FY 2016.
 Access for Offshore Wind power facilities is more hard than Onshore Wind Power because it is influenced by wave. And then it is necessary to predict wave condition accurately in order to do maintenance Offshore Wind power efficiently and safely. This paper introduces summary and validity of the wave prediction system and actual condition of access.
