02962837-This project is a technology agnostic high-level study of the costs, risks and opportunities for different cable topology and cable connection methods (including subsea wet mate connectors) for offshore floating wind, in comparison to a more conventional topology in a daisy chain configuration between turbines. This study is important as it aims to answer the following questions: • What topologies will potentially be used for future FOW sites (e.g. daisy chain, fishbone, or star)? • What t...

Technology Qualification & Development Programme - Synthetic Fibre Rope - Stage 1 2022-Project Context Synthetic mooring lines, typically ropes, can be an enabling component for a range of floating wind projects. In shallow waters such as those in the UK, highly compliant materials such as nylon are desirable. These newer materials are highly non-linear in their fatigue and elongation responses and are less well characterised to date particularly at the scale needed for FOW. For deeper projects, polyester and HMPE may be favourable, and stiffer materials could be used as moorin...

ORE/22/077 - Lifecycle Assessment Methodology for Carbon Emissions in Offshore Wind-The project will be split into two parts: Phase 1 and Phase 2. This tender is for Phase 1 only but Phase 2 is outlined for overall context only. Phase 1 Objectives; •Review current LCA methodologies within industries to identify methodologies, approaches and tools suited to the offshore renewable industry; •Develop a standard taxonomy based around main project life cycle phases (e.g., raw material extraction, manufacture, distribution and transport, operations and maintenance, disposal,...

Dynamic Cable Flex Fatigue Test Rig-ORE Catapult intends to expand its cable testing capabilities by constructing a dynamic cable flex fatigue test rig that is capable of simulating in-service dynamic loads for floating offshore wind (FOW) applications. ORE Catapult intends to appoint a single contractor (or consortium) to design, procure, construct and commission the dynamic cable fatigue test rig at its (to be inaugurated) National Floating Offshore Wind Innovation Centre (FLOWIC) site in Aberdeen. ORE Catapult reserve the ri...
