Background
The HP_Flow project winner of the Call for project International Research Projects WEAMEC targets the hydrondynamic modelling of heave-plates for floating offshore wind and is coupled with the H2020 FLOAWER project.
Heave plates are commonly used in floating wind energy for shifting the resonance periods of the platform out of the predominant wave periods and for damping the motion of the whole structure.
Abstract
This poster displayed at Seanergy 2021 presents research topics and dedicated experimental tests for validation purpose to go from coupled designs tools to high fidelity simulations for floating offshore wind turbines.
