The Investigation of Conceptual Approaches to the Creation of Marine Ice-resistant Floating Wind Power Plant

摘要

This paper deals with conceptual engineering solutions for floating wind power plant designed to supply electrical power to Russian Arctic coastal and island territory. Layout of a sea-based Arctic wind power plant design was proposed based on the analysis of current wind turbines. Main wind, wave and ice loads acting on the wind power plant in Arctic conditions have been determined. Options of floating wind power plant substructures have been analysed. Numerical modelling of behaviour of the conceptual offshore wind power plant options in question has been performed. Strength analysis of substructures for Arctic offshore wind power plant options in question has been performed.
