Floating Wind
Floater Parametric
Tool
Our Floater Parametric Tool helps to commercialise floating wind by delivering a better understanding of design drivers in floater design.
At a glance
Challenge
Commercializing floating wind requires a better understanding of design drivers in floater design. This includes assessing the effect of design choices on project logistics, construction and installation.
Actions
We built an in-house shell to rapidly generate floater designs and meshes, assess hydrodynamics with WAMIT/OrcaWave, set-up tendon design, perform a modal analysis and calculate the dynamic response for given design load case.
Benefits
We can perform sensitivity studies for existing floater designs and analyze the trade-off between in-situ performance and logistical, construction and installation costs. It can also be used to optimize a floater for predefined design parameters by using, for example, a genetic algorithm.
Solution
We have created a tool that has been thoroughly tested and the designs from the tool have been compared to existing and open-source configurations.
The HES Approach
Enable
We enable clients to have a clear, reliable, and data-driven understanding of the associated timeframe and costs for their offshore wind farm development.
Improve
We improve project duration, cost, and weather downtime by applying our specialist knowledge and services to develop robust and cost-effective construction strategies for our clients.
De-risk
We de-risk projects by further defining installation processes, optimizing critical operations, and providing clear insights on construction risks that could impact on duration or cost.
Floating Wind Solutions
We enable clients to de-risk, remove bottlenecks, and improve their floating wind construction strategies at an early stage. Additionally, our dedicated team explore and assess novel strategies and methodologies for floating offshore wind construction.
