Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. – Albert Einstein ii iii Preface Dear reader, First of all I would like to thank you for reading this report. Wind energy is an interesting form of alternative energy in my opinion. In the Netherlands, wind turbines are installed onshore in various places. These wind turbines are very large when passing by car or train. However, offshore wind turbines are typically larger in capacity compared with onshore wind turbines. Many of those cannot be seen from the coast although more wind energy is generated by offshore wind turbines compared with onshore wind turbines. The reason behind my interest in offshore wind turbines is the large and challenging installation of these wind turbines. Besides, the used transportation methods and demanding onshore logistics are also interesting. I would like to thank all the people involved in my graduation project. Especially the supervisors who I could contact when needed and gave me the opportunity to continue during the Corona crisis. I started this project with Dr. ir. H. Polinder who I contacted for the wind program of Huisman. After an interesting discussion with ir. E. Romeijn of Huisman I got the opportunity to write my own research proposal to perform research on fully assembled wind turbine installation using cranes on a floating vessel. My daily supervisors ir. W. van den Bos of the TU Delft and ir. R. Nouwens of Huisman Equipment helped me well during the research period and gave critical but usable feedback. The team of supervisors gave me the opportunity to design and engineer new solutions for wind turbine installation. Special thanks to M. Brinkman of Huisman who helped me with finding the different vessels for wind turbine installation and who build the final model 3D model. Furthermore, I would like to thank my family for guiding me at home. The Corona crisis forced us all to work at home which gave me the opportunity to develop and compare different concepts. I’m especially thankful to my father. His critical thinking and our discussions helped me splitting process and content in the project. Furthermore, I would like to thank my colleagues within Huisman Equipment who gave me the opportunity to ask questions for my project. I would like to thank the company in general for facilitating the graduation project. It was interesting to use divers methods and perspectives in this project. I have not only applied tools and knowledge which I have learned from during my mechanical engineering studies but also design principles which I have learned during Design Thinking and my minor at Industrial Design. This knowledge in combination with my interest in cranes and transport methods let to the development of the proposed concept. Besides, I acquired valuable information related to offshore wind installation. The offshore wind turbine industry was more interesting and challenging than I had ever thought. I hope that my contribution to science and industry will help fulfilling future wind turbine installation demand. Gerben Hoogendoorn Driebruggen, July 31, 2020 iv Abstract Wind turbine industry is growing and future predictions are promising. However, a shortage of installation vessels could influence this growth in offshore wind industry. Commonly, wind turbines are installed in components using a jack-up vessel. Occasionally, wind turbines are installed fully assembled. The center of gravity of a fully assembled wind turbine is relatively low and thus lifting above the wind turbine is not necessarily for fully assembled wind turbine installation. Wind turbines can be installed fully assembled using cranes in twin lift configuration to reduce required lifting capacities. The flexibility and scalability of the vessel depends on the location of the cranes on the vessel. Different vessels can install wind turbines with their advantages and disadvantages. To identify these solutions, principles are proposed and compared with state-of-the-art vessels for wind turbine installations. A morphological analysis is used to identify promising solutions for fully assembled wind turbine installation. Eight concepts are compared in a scenario comparison with varying distance between nearby marshalling ports and the wind turbine park location. Several solutions show subsequent improvement in installation rates. One new concept, the PWT installation vessel, shows overall improvement in installation rates. This solution, developed by the author of this report, is proposed for flexible and scalable fully assembled wind turbine installation. v List of abbreviations CoG Center of Gravity LCOE Levelized Cost Of Energy DP system Dynamic Positioning System SWATH Small-waterplane-area twin hull GM Metacentric height PWT installation Parallelogram Wind Turbine installation vi Contents Preface .........................................................................................................................................iv Abstract ........................................................................................................................................ v List of abbreviations .......................................................................................................................vi 1.

  • Stability Analysis Based on Theoretical Data and Inclining Test Results for a 1200 GT Coaster Vessel
    Proceeding of Marine Safety and Maritime Installation (MSMI 2018) Stability Analysis Based on Theoretical Data and Inclining Test Results for a 1200 GT Coaster Vessel Siti Rahayuningsih1,a,*, Eko B.

[email protected] *corresponding author Keywords: coaster vessel, final stability, preliminary stability. Abstract: 1200 GT Coaster Vessel is designed to mobilize the flow of goods and passengers in order to implement the Indonesian Sea Toll Program. This vessel is necessary to be analysed its stability to ensure the safety while in operation. The stability is analysed, firstly by theoretical approach (preliminary stability) and secondly, based on inclining test data to derive the final stability. The preliminary stability is analysed for the estimated LWT of 741.20 tons with LCG 23.797 m from AP and VCG 4.88 m above the keel. On the other hand, the inclining test results present the LWT of 831.90 tons with LCG 26.331 m from AP and VCG 4.513 m above the keel. Stability analysis on for both data is performed by considering the standard reference of IMO Instruments Resolution A. 749 (18) Amended by MSC.75 (69) Static stability, as well as guidance from Indonesian Bureau of Classification (BKI). Results of the analysis indicate that the ship meets the stability criteria from IMO and BKI. However results of preliminary stability analysis and final stability analysis exhibit a difference in the range 0.55% to 11.36%.

  • An Investigation of Head-Sea Parametric Rolling and Its Influence on Container Lashing Systems
    SNAME Annual Meeting 2001 Presentation An Investigation of Head-Sea Parametric Rolling and its Influence on Container Lashing Systems William N. France,1 Marc Levadou,2 Thomas W. Treakle,3 J. Randolph Paulling,4 R. Keith Michel,5 and Colin Moore 5 Recent studies have demonstrated that parametric roll in extreme head or near head seas can occur when unfavorable tuning is combined with low roll damping (reduced speed) and large stability variations (governed by wavelength, wave height, general hull form, bow flare, and stern shapes). Parametric rolling is an unstable phenomenon, which can quickly generate large roll angles that are coupled with significant pitch motions. The rolling occurs in phase with pitch, and on containerships introduces high loads into the containers and their securing systems. It appears that post-Panamax containerships may be particularly prone to this behavior. This is an important issue considering the large number of these vessels scheduled for delivery in the next few years. In October, 1998, a post-Panamax, C11 class containership encountered extreme weather and sustained extensive loss and damage to deck stowed containers. The motions of the vessel during this storm event were investigated through a series of model tests and numerical analyses. These studies provide insight into the conditions in which post-Panamax containerships are likely to experience head sea parametric rolling, and the magnitude of motions and accelerations that can occur. The findings from this investigation are presented in this paper, together with discussion of how such extreme motions impact the design and application of container securing systems. Also outlined in the paper are recommendations for additional research needed to better understand the influence of vessel design and operational considerations on the propensity of post-Panamax containerships towards parametric rolling.
