Project overview:
Techno-Economic Mooring Configuration and Design for Floating Offshore Wind
Awardee:
UMass Amherst
Start Date:
Q2, 2021
Technical Challenge Area:
Floating Structure Engineering
Completion Date:
Q3, 2022
Synopsis:
The University of Massachusetts Amherst will develop mooring and foundation systems for typical FOWT that are cost-optimized in terms of choice of materials and topology. This project will contribute to the suggested design methodology by developing mooring configurations using various material combinations.
Target Outcomes:
1
Develop comparable overall cost estimation and identify cost drivers for different mooring system solution
2
Develop a cost comparison and cost drivers clarification report.
