Advanced anchoring and mooring study by sound & sea technology engineering solutions
Year: 2009 Language: english Author: Oregon Wave Energy Trust Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 192 Description: This report establishes an industry knowledge base for existing anchoring and mooring techniques as applied to wave energy conversion (WEC) devices in and around Oregon. The effort is supported by the Oregon Wave Energy Trust (OWET) whose mission is to facilitate the responsible development of the wave energy industry in Oregon. The coast of Oregon has the most energetic wave environment on the West coast of the U.S. except for Alaska. The responsible development of the Oregon wave energy industry requires exacting analysis, design and execution to ensure minimal effect on the environment while providing minimal cost mooring systems consistent with the lowest possible risk. There is a multitude of WEC devices in concept, in development or in demonstration, yet there are no universally applied standards or criteria specific to the design of wave energy devices. Designers typically select guides developed for floating structures from various sources (DnV, ABS, NK, API, and MMS), adapt them as best that they can, and trust that they achieve a safe and cost-effective design. This can lead to inconsistent designs while making it difficult for regulatory agencies to evaluate and certify the designs.
