Building an Offshore Wind Farm by Jochem Tacx Pdf

The wind is a clean, free, and readily available renewable energy source which can be converted into electricity using wind turbines that convert the kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical power. Windspeed and direction are more consistent offshore than they are onshore and consequently, offshore wind farms are built progressively. Statistics from Wind Europe confirm that 2018 counted a total of 4,543 installed and grid connected offshore turbines in Europe corresponding to a total of capacity of 18,499 MW.The Operational Master Guide on Building an Offshore Wind Farm is the first book available to the public to specifically focus on the installation of an offshore wind farm. The book draws on the author's experience of the transport and installation of the components for the offshore wind farms. It also specifies the type of installation vessels used for the specific installations, outlines the required crew members on board and their mandatory basic training programs and explains how the workers travel to and from site.This book is a valuable educational investment designed with graphics and figures along with corresponding project photos which creates an easy read and provides the readers with a quick, but yet deep understanding on the respective installation phases.The authors, Jochem Tacx and Integrated-TIS:Jochem T. started his career working at the shipyard Keppel Verolme, in the port of Rotterdam, and later specializing within the transport and installation of heavy, high value and oversized project equipment. During his career Jochem has represented the interest of the main clients and first-tier contractors by fulfilling all aspects of project- and related QHSE management.

Offshore Wind by Kurt Thomsen Pdf

Offshore Wind is the first-ever roadmap to successful offshore wind installation. It provides a ready reference for wind project managers, teaching them how to deal with complications on-site, as well as for financers, who can utilize the text as an easy guide to asking the pivotal questions of petitioning wind project developers. These developers' planning stages will be improved by the book's expert advice on how to avoid wasting money by scoping out and mitigating potential problems up-front. Wind turbine manufacturers will benefit from insights into design optimization to support cheaper installation and hauling, thereby incurring lower project costs, and helping developers establish a quicker route to profitability. The book sheds light not just on how to solve a particular installation difficulty, but delves into why the problem may best be solved in that way. Enables all stakeholders to realize cheaper, faster, and safer offshore wind projects Explains the different approaches to executing on- and offshore projects, highlighting theeconomic impacts of the various financial and operational choices Provides practical, proven advice on how tough challenges can be overcome,using real-life examples from the author’s experiences to illustrate key issues

Building an Offshore Wind Farm by Jochem Tacx Pdf

This Limited Edition combines part 1 & 2 of Building an Offshore Wind Farm - Operational Master Guide.The Operational Master Guide on Building an Offshore Wind Farm part 1 is the first book available on the market to specifically focus on the installation of an offshore wind farm. The book draws on the author's hands on experience of the transport and installation of the components for the offshore wind farms. The book also specifies the type of construction vessels used for each specific installation, outlines the required crew members on board and their mandatory basic training programs and explains how the workers travel to and from site. The Operational Master Guide on Building an Offshore Wind Farm Part 2 - Floating Structures is the sequel of the Operational Master Guide on Building an Offshore Wind Farm and is the first book available to the public to specifically focus on the installation of a floating offshore wind farm. Floating Offshore Wind Foundations unlock new renewable energy potential. Average wind speeds are higher and more consistent further from shore and around 80% of Europe's offshore wind resources is located in waters of more than 60 meter depth, where bottom-fixed offshore wind structures are not economically attractive. This means floating offshore wind farms can produce more energy throughout the year and have high capacity factors. Some of the largest potential markets, such as Japan and the United States, possess few shallow-water sites suitable for offshore wind development. Floating foundations could be game changers for power generation from deeper waters as they eliminate the depth constraint. Floating Offshore Wind Structures also open new markets Europe (France, Norway, Spain and Portugal) for the offshore wind energy industry and allows for the harnessing of great wind resources in shallower waters (as low as 30m) where the seabed quality makes bottom fixed offshore wind economically unviable.The book draws on integrated research and the author's experience within the sector and is a valuable educational investment designed with graphics and figures along with corresponding project photos which creates an easy read and provides the readers with a quick, but yet deep understanding on the respective installation phases.

Building an Offshore Wind Farm - Floating Structures by Jochem Tacx Pdf

The methodology used for the "Operational Master Guide on Building an Offshore Wind Farm Part 1 (BOWF_OMG part1) was primarily focussed on the dominant WTG structures used within the European Offshore Wind Industry which are rooted to the seabed by fixed substructures (ej. monopile or jacket foundations). These foundations however are restricted to waters depths less than 50 metres. Floating Offshore Wind Foundations unlock new renewable energy potential. Average wind speeds are higher and more consistent further from shore and around 80% of Europe's offshore wind resources is located in waters of more than 60 meter depth, where bottom-fixed offshore wind structures are not economically attractive. This means floating offshore wind farms can produce more energy throughout the year and have high capacity factors. Some of the largest potential markets, such as Japan and the United States, possess few shallow-water sites suitable for offshore wind development. Floating foundations could be game changers for power generation from deeper waters as they eliminate the depth constraint. Floating Offshore Wind Structures also open new markets Europe (France, Norway, Spain and Portugal) for the offshore wind energy industry and allows for the harnessing of great wind resources in shallower waters (as low as 30m) where the seabed quality makes bottom fixed offshore wind economically unviable.

Structural Integrity of Offshore Wind Turbines: Oversight of Design, Fabrication, and Installation by National Research Council (U.S.). Committee on Offshore Wind Energy Turbine Structural and Operating Safety Pdf

"The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (BOEMRE) is responsible for the orderly, safe, and environmentally responsible development of offshore renewable energy on the outer continental shelf (OCS). The Committee on Offshore Wind Energy Turbine Structural and Operating Safety that authored this report was tasked with reviewing BOEMRE's proposed approach to overseeing the design of offshore wind turbines for structural integrity. The committee was asked to review the applicability and adequacy of standards and practices that could be used for the design, fabrication and installation of offshore wind turbines. It was also asked to review the role of third-party certified verification agents (CVAs) and the expertise and qualifications needed to carry out the role of a CVA. The committee's findings are presented in the following chapters: (1) Introduction; (2) Offshore Wind Technology and Status; (3) Standards and Practices; (4) A Risk-Informed Approach to Performance Assurance; (5) Role of Third-Party Oversight and Certified Verification Agents; (6) Qualifications Needed by Certified Verification Agents; and (7) Summary of Key Findings and Recommendations."--Pub. desc.
