Interaction between seabed and offshore wind farms

Interaction between seabed and offshore wind farms

 
Solution type: in Development phase

Offshore wind farm foundation and seabed conditions

Funded project: DSCR

Offshore wind farm foundations are complex and expensive, one reason being the seabed which shifts due to wave and current impact. The project is looking into seabed conditions, erosion and the quicksand-like conditions that may arise due to impacts. The results are important for the assessment of foundation embedding and dimensioning.
