The countries of the Atlantic Area have the world’s best offshore wind resource and there is huge opportunity to develop a viable industry supporting thousands of jobs, as well as helping to meet targets for green energy production. The ARCWIND project contributes to the transition from fixed to floating wind platform systems for use in deeper water and more exposed sites in the Atlantic Area by the assessment of wind energy potential with a regional atmospheric model and remote sensed data, the study of different types of floating high power wind turbines numerically and experimentally. A multicriteria approach for selecting the locations of the wind energy farms will be developed and applied to the Atlantic region countries. The project will also contribute to the feasibility and appropriateness of having different types of floating wind turbines installed in the various locations, considering the specific features of the sites and the main types of floating structures. High power turbine concepts and innovative control algorithms will be considered as case studies and then chosen for each country, in which a specific concept of platform will be studied numerically and experimentally. Also farms with these platforms will be considered for cost assessment, logistics and maintenance planning, as well as risk assessment. (English)
