Developing offshore renewable energy technologies by accurate numerical modelling techniques for soil-cable and soil-moorings interactions Ghent University
In view of the new EU Green Deal and the EU’s climate and clean energy ambition for 2030, we target offshore renewable energy challenges. Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are connected to the seabed through mooring cables. The overall research objective is to reduce uncertainties (and subsequently lower costs) in the estimated fatigue damage of mooring cables due to soil-cable interaction in the touch down zone (TDZ); The following ...
