An Experimental Investigation on Loading, Performance, and Wake Interactions between Floating VAWTs ____________________________________________ Morteza Khosravi 18 Oct. 2013

Introduction & Background Oceans are dynamic environments, containing many different types of energy sources. –Wind, tides, current, waves, etc. Offshore wind turbine technology Classification of offshore wind substructures: –Shallow water: 0-30 m depth, turbine is being fixed to the sea floor. Monopile, Gravity –Intermediate waters: m, turbine is being fixed to the sea floor. Jacket, Tripod –Deep waters: > 60 m depth, turbine is being floated on the water.

Reasons for going offshore Vast availability of areas offshore suitable for wind farm development, since 71% of the Earth is covered by water. Wind farms can strategically be placed offshore near the major load centers, but far enough offshore so that the visual and sound issues will not impact the coastal residents. The blade size is not limited by inland transportation, hence multi- megawatt turbines usually in the range of 10MW can easily be placed offshore. Multi-pole generators may be used in big offshore wind turbines which eliminates the need for a gear box, hence reducing the cost of O&M.

But why do we need to float the turbines

Deep Water Technologies In deep waters (depth > 60m), the turbines need to be floated. Common types of floating platforms include: –Tension-Leg Platform (TLP) –Spar Buoy –Semi-Submersible Offshore structures have 6 D.O.F. – 3 displacements: Surge, Sway, Heave – 3 rotations: Roll, Pitch, Yaw

Stability and Mooring lines Stability is an issue with floating turbines –HAWT vs. VAWT Mooring lines (tendons) functions: –Keep turbines in place –Tensions help stabilize the turbines The horizontal component of the tension force in the lines counteracts the lateral loads. The vertical component will counteract the bouncy force.

Tension-Leg Platform (TLP)

Spar Buoy Floater A long closed cylinder that floats vertically below the sea surface. Ballast stablized. –CG located below CB. Have very deep draft. –Hywind project by Statoil deployed a 2.3MW in water depth of 200m using spar buoy with draft in excess of 100 m. Uses taut lines and drag anchor to hold it in place. –The horizontal component of the tension force in the lines counteracts the lateral loads. –The vertical component will counteract the bouncy.

Semi-Submersible Platform Essentially a floating deck supported by few submerged columns. Buoyancy stabilized. Windfloat project –By Principle Power –Deployed a 2MW turbine off the coast of Portugal. –Turbine placed on one of the hallow columns. –Used 4 slack catenary mooring lines. DeepCWind project –By the Univ. of Maine –Composed of 3 light weight concrete columns. –Turbine placed in the center of the platform –Uses only 3 slack catenary lines.

Offshore Hybrid technologies The cost of offshore wind is still 50% more expensive than onshore wind. To offset the cost of offshore wind energy, it is possible to combine different energy technologies. The 1 st offshore hybrid wind-current farm will be deployed off the coast of western Japan.

My Research My research will mainly focus on the following areas: –To experimentally investigate the wake recovery and wake interaction between VAWTs for both onshore and offshore cases. –To perform an experimental study on the effects of floating platform motions on wind turbine loading and performance. –To perform a numerical study and compare with my experimental results.

Starting my research Steps in doing my research: –1 st : Design a VAWT and optimize it for best performance. –2 nd : Choose a specific offshore location and determine the scaling. –3 nd : Wind tunnel testing to get some initial data. –4 th : Wind-wave basin testing. –5 th : Comparing my experimental results with numerical tools.
