Project overview:
Dual-Functional Tuned Inerter Damper for Enhanced Semi-Sub Offshore Wind Turbine
Awardee:
Virginia Tech
Start Date:
Q4, 2021
Technical Challenge Area:
Floating Structure Engineering
Completion Date:
N/A (Currently Underway)
Synopsis:
Develop a dual-functional tuned-inerter damper enhanced semi-submersible mooring system for deep ocean deployment sites. The system will mitigate the vibration motion of the offshore wind platform caused by wind-induced vibration and ocean wave excitation, at the same time convert the wind and wave induced vibration energy into electricity.
Target Outcomes:
1
Develop a dual-functional tuned-inerter damper enhanced semi-submersible mooring system for deep ocean deployment sites.
2
To construct a scaled model for tank testing and develop a tech to market strategy.
