Work description

Pre-feasibility analysis of the types of floating platforms  more suitable in the Mediterraneum Seas to provide support for the installation of a 15 MW wind turbine.

Highlights of the main aspects that must be investigated in the project execution phase with the criticalities of the construction supply chain

Tecon services

• Screening Phase

   Comparisons with "scoring" of the various types (pros and cons of the various types)

  • Trends of the last years of the types of platforms
  • Materials
  • Mooring lines (cables/chains)
  • Anchors on the bottom
  • Overview of construction and installation
  • Technology Readiness Level (TRL)

  Analysis Phase

   Ship stability/buoyancy checks

  • Calculation of stability curves and related regulatory checks
  • Determination of hydrodynamic loads
  • "Motion Analysis" of the hull
  • Determination of ballast
  • Calculation of heel angles and limit conditions/regulatory limits
  • Calculation of "RAO's"
  • "Mooring analysis" with model of mooring lines
  • Determination of loads on mooring lines
  • Determination of loads on anchors/anchor piles on the bottom
• Preliminary checks of the main structural elements
