Her kjører SINTEF en av verdens første hybridtester av en flytende vindturbin. Både bølgekrefter og reell vindlast blir simulert fysisk og etter avanserte numeriske beregningsmodeller. Resultatet blir en naturtro test av vindturbinens bevegelser....

WINDMOOR is a 4-year KPN-project funded by the Research Council of Norway and offshore wind industry. The project started in 2019 and has a total budget of 16.6 MNOK. WINDMOOR's main goal is to enable a more efficient design of floating wind turbine farms, by improving load analysis methods. Key...

This report presents results from hydrodynamic analysis of interaction between glacial ice and semisubmersible drilling units, as part of the Petroleum Safety Authority's project "NORD ST20 Loads, design and operation of floaters in the northern area". The overall objective of the study has...

Hydrodynamic model tests and numerical simulations may be combined in a complementary manner during the design and qualification of new offshore structures. In the EU H2020 project LIFES50+ (lifes50plus.eu), a model test campaign of floating offshore wind turbines using Real-Time Hybrid Model...
