Development of a gravity foundation system for offshore wind farm applications

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Traditionally gravity based foundations for Offshore Wind Energy Convertors (OWECs) have only been used in relatively shallow water (<20m) as they become uneconomical with increasing depths. The SeaBreeze Project as described in this paper comprises of the development of a radically new and novel offshore wind turbine support structure intended to significantly increase the economic operating range of offshore wind-farms. This new concept is expected to be cost effective to depths of up to 50m.
