Project Name Feasibility study on Fixed Platform for Offshore Wind Turbine
Year 2013-Ongoing
Position held Project Scientist-I
Project features As India has shown proven success in establishing onshore wind farms, focus has been shifted towards offshore wind as there are enormous potential zones available in Gujarat and Tamilnadu Coast. National Institute of ocean technology is involved in feasibility studies for suitable substructures concepts for offshore wind turbine at environmental conditions.
Responsibilities • Identifying suitable substructure concept for offshore wind turbine at various water depths such as 30m Floating concept by considering various environmental and geotechnical aspects.
• Coupling non-linear loads such as wave, wind and performing analysis in Time domain as well as Frequency domain.
• Soil structure interaction studies as non-linear springs for monopile which is the most suitable substructure concept.
• Optimization studies for conceptual design methodology for offshore wind turbine substructure using non-linear regression analysis.
