Description
As part of the EU funded project, ICONN, Floating Power Plant will be collaborating with Aalborg University to give a week-long “summer” school on AeroElastic Modelling and Mooring Analysis. ICONN is a unique European Industrial Doctorate initiative to meet the current and future demand for highly skilled offshore wind and wave energy engineers by developing and advancing European capacity in the design, development and performance optimisation for Offshore Wind and Wave Energy installations. In line with the principles of the ICONN project, the summer school will be given with both an industrial and academic focus as well as complimentary training on presentation skills.Each student will leave the summer school with all the necessary tools and knowledge to analyse floating wind turbines with a variety of mooring solutions. During the workshop, the students will work together to model the OC4 test case of a 5MW NREL wind turbine on a floating foundation. Whilst the challenges will be faced as a group, each student will run the analysis themselves on their own laptop.
The practical skills gained will be complimented with technical presentations by leading researchers in mooring systems and computational fluid dynamics. These academic lectures will be complimented by an industrial perspective on the floating wind energy industry by the CEO of Floating Power Plant.
