Onboard wave and motion prediction for offshore wind operations: from PhD to start-up.
Peter Naaijen
Operability of many offshore operations is limited because of waves and wave induced motions of the involved vessels. These operations vary from transferring people from ships to offshore wind turbines to installing wind turbine parts with floating cranes. Operability has always been considered from the statistical point of view: operations are considered safe if the probability of a certain hazardous situation is sufficiently low. Technology to predict on a short term (1-4 minutes in advance) when exactly such situation will occur can drastically change how we look at operability. This presentation will be about how remote wave observations with radar can provide early warning for large waves and related hazards, and address some aspects of the journey from PhD research to product development in a start-up.
The M&TT Colloquia is a colloquium series that is organized within the department of Maritime and Transport Technology at Delft University of Technology. The organization is done by PhD students from this department.
