Calling for entries from companies and consortia interested to undertake a study to understand the challenges and solutions for electrical equipment in floating wind applications.
The FLW JIP wish to obtain a greater understanding of fatigue analysis of electrical equipment in floating structures through the identification of relevant forces and weak points of electrical equipment sensitive to acceleration stress. This should advise on potential design changes required and a type-test program for floating wind applications.
This project aims to benefit the floating offshore wind industry by providing a basis of feasibility for the application of electrical components in floating wind; and identifying the associated risks and costs incurred.
