At EAWE’s PhD Seminar, Irene Giuliani shared first results from Work Package 1
FLOATFARM is pleased to share that Irene Giuliani presented the latest WP1 results at the 21st EAWE PhD Seminar in Athens, in a talk titled: “Aeroelastic design of an innovative floating offshore wind turbine for the Mediterranean Sea”.
FLOATFARM’s Work Package 1 (Tower, Generator, Blade & Control) aims to :
- Explore the potential of low specific power rotors for improved energy capture in floating conditions;
- Advance an innovative lightweight gearless generator technology through the creation of a multi-MW design;
- Prove the potential benefits in terms of loading and turbine dynamics of the lightweight generator, and quantify their impact on design;
- Optimise and test feedforward wave-based control for FOWT;
- Open-sea demonstrations of wave sensing technology and feedforward wave control
