Efficacy of Twisted Jacket for Offshore Wind Turbine Foundation
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
With the increase in demand of offshore wind energy, the need for offshore structures for supporting wind turbine is increasing. These structures can be floating and moored to the seabed or a fixed structure with its foundation on the seabed. In this paper, a jacket and 3-legged twisted Jackets with twisting angles 0̊, 30̊, 60̊& 90̊ used for supporting 5 MW NREL wind turbine is statically analyzed for a site selected is in the Indian sea near Rameshwaram, in Tamilnadu. The structure is designed based on the procedure followed in oil and gas industry which conforms to the API-RP2A WSD (2007). The structure includes the jacket, transition piece and the tower. The structure is modeled in Bentley SACS v7 within which the static structural analysis is carried out. The preliminary analysis meets the requirements specified in the codes API RP 2A and DNV-OS-J101.
