MWP Mark II – 3 main stages
To meeet the operational goals, the process is as follows:
- Natural Frequency
- The MWP Mark II is arranged and sized to meet the goals of natural frequency, in particular avoidance of the wind turbine 1P and 3P frequency bands.
- Strength
- The MWP Mark II must meet the site maximum environmental criteria (wind, wave and current) within tolerances for allowable stress and deflection.
- Fatigue
- Key connections must meet the fatigue life goal of 25 years for the project wind and wave fatigue load criteria.
