Wind turbine transportation information platform

What is integrated transportation of offshore wind turbine & bucket foundation?

A novel integrated transportation and installation method of offshore wind power is proposed. The first long-distance transportation process of U and K shaped assembled platform and bucket foundation is introduced. The model experiment of integrated transportation of offshore wind turbine and bucket foundation is carried out.

How to transport a floating wind turbine?

Another way is to directly use the tugboat to transport the structure. Since the foundation of the floating wind turbine has good stability and seakeeping, this method is more used for the integrated transportation of the floating wind turbine.

How does integrated transportation of offshore wind turbines work?

The integrated transportation of offshore wind turbines is complicated and technical, such as the multi-body coupling problem of the integrated system, and the combined effect of wind, wave and current. The present work is mainly to analyze the towing behavior of the integrated system in one direction under calm water and wave conditions.

Why do floating wind turbines need specialised installation vessels?

The rapid growth of the floating wind industry is placing increasing pressure on the availability of specialised installation vessels. The deployment of FOWFs necessitates specialised vessels equipped with robust heavy-lifting capabilities to transport and install the massive floating platforms and wind turbine components.

How to choose a wind turbine transport route?

The growing size and weight of onshore wind turbine components means routes must be planned with precision to find the shortest options. Every extra centimeter or kilogram could rule out the ideal wind turbine transport route; any delay could have major repercussions for the previous and following phases of work.

Can a U & K shaped assembled platform be used in offshore wind farms?

In this study, a U and K shaped assembled platform (U&KSAP) is proposed and introduced for the first time, which is used to transport and install the OWT and BF (OWT&BF) in deeper and farther offshore wind farms. Firstly, the integrated transportation and installation method of OWT&BF based on the novel U&KSAP is discussed.
