The Challenge – OWA Competition
The goal of the competition is to take the best new designs for offshore wind turbine foundations from design through research and development to deployment.
The Offshore Wind Accelerator programme itself is a wider collaboration between the Carbon Trust and five of the leading international players in offshore wind farms developing technology and process in Wake Effect Modelling; Access Transportation UK round 3 Access, & Logistics; and Electrical Systems in addition to Foundation Design.
For foundation design Carbon Trust are looking for the most innovative, cost effective and robust turbine foundation designs for different deeper offshore conditions.
E.ON New Build & Technology Centre
MWP provided E.ON with detailed design documentation for review and comment. The purpose of the design review was to understand the basis of design, the scope and depth of FE analysis performed, identify residual risks and determine the requirement for and scope of structural monitoring in the future.
